After the original MetaCenter Global Week Orlando Lounge proved the concept to be technically viable, Chris Crescitelli of MetaCities came back to us a year or so later with a plan to upgrade the original space with some fun new amenities and turn it into a richly immersive regular event space for their popular Metamusic Festival series.

The new additions included some custom shader upgrades, floating islands with waterfalls, a fully functional and beautiful lazy river you can actually ride along in, and a mystical crystal cave that the lazy river ultimately winds around through. While it’s a bit heavy for VR it is still a very fun space to hang out in on PC or mobile. And it’s always fun to be able to connect with new and old friends in a social VR setting.

⭐ The theater has already hosted multiple live DJ parties with people dancing in their avatars!

✅ Currently accessible on the VIVERSE platform using Desktop and Mobile.

An original WebXR escape room style game built in the open source PlayCanvas engine for the VIVERSE platform by Cause + Christi and ZanderCode. You, the ship’s Earth-born engineer, awaken from cryo sleep alone, adrift, and faced with finding your tools to repair the ship and unlock the bridge. Your orders are to send a distress beacon but you may have other plans…

🏆 Winner for Entertainment Experience of the Year 2025 at the Polys Immersive Awards and now prominently featured on the Meta Quest browser’s new tab page under Immersive Experiences!

We helped Rowohlt Verlag’s romance imprint KYSS bring the world of Romance Fiction to life in virtual reality by building their own immersive space: the Castle of KYSS. Hosted in the popular metaverse platform VRChat, the Castle of KYSS is a multi-room social experience that invites fans to explore their favorite genres, books, and authors while connecting with each other.

⭐ The castle has already hosted its first live author event featuring Marie Niehoff, and will continue to hold regular gatherings that bring the KYSS community together in unforgettable, story-filled ways.

Join world-renowned violinist Ara Malikian and the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía on a visually stunning journey through the immersive universe of Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” concerto. Experience the life and magic through fresh eyes and ears as you step through the time portals to transform the environment, enjoy each season’s musical movement, and play your own instrument to unlock the spirit of the season and relight its beacon. Once all beacons are lit, the home planets of each season will once again be connected through the magic of Vivaldi’s harmonic frequencies!

🏆 The app won Education Experience of the Year, Entertainment Experience of the Year, and Experience of the Year at the 2024 Polys Immersive Awards and was featured in Forbes.

⭐ The app is also currently being used in schools in Spain and touring around Europe in an effort to help get children interested in the classical arts.

We’d worked with Chris Crescitelli of Dreamland XR in the past on the UNESCO #ActNow projects when we recreated the Al Wasl Dome and the Uluru National Park. This time he came to us with his brand MetaCities along with a team at HTC to create an official Orlando-themed virtual lounge experience for the 2023 MetaCenter Global Week conference, featuring a live set by DJ Celeste. It was a bit of rush job with a very quick turnaround of only THREE WEEKS! but we pulled it off and honestly what we ended up creating became one of our favorite designs to date.

⭐ Fun Fact: this was one of the very first worlds built on the then budding HTC VIVERSE platform. Our world’s popularity over the years prompted VIVERSE to reach out to us with a creative contract offer to build our now award winning game Ship Happens.

⬆️ This world went on to later become the new MetaCities Neon Aqua Theater with a full on working lazy river, magic cave and waterfalls added on. See the above for that entry, the button below takes you to the original archived version. This way you can see the updates!

Andy Fidel of Spatial Networks orchestrated a multi-day multi-speaker virtual online networking conference and it was a veritable who’s who of the industry. She came to us to build her a unique setting for this event, something inspired by the early days of 3D design. For some reason a Pink Floyd album cover came to mind and thus the strange geometric pinkish pyramidish water world of the XR Talent Expo was born! We had an absolute blast making this world, it was a full on imagination fest and it turned out better than we could have imagined!

April 2023

Although they have never been officially released, we crafted three beautiful custom worlds for Madrid in Game’s virtual campus project. It is unclear when or even if these worlds will ever become publicly accessible.

At the heart we created a whimsical outdoor plaza lobby environment with a large explorable layout and an organic design central tower based around the shape and colors of their company logo (as seen from a bird’s eye view). The plaza also houses a space for fireside chats, a lake for relaxing chats, and connects the other two main visitable spaces: an intimate club-like meeting/presentation space and a larger theater-like large audience presentation space.

The club space is a small spherical pod lined with plants and flanked by 2 sakura blossom trees, with an organic style open roof that lets in just the right amount of dappled sunlight. It’s the perfect spot for a small gathering to share ideas and watch a presentation together on the main screen.

The theater space is a work of architectural art and employs the same organic open roof design as the club space. This time, however, the area can hold up to 100 people rather than just a small group. There is a separated plant-lined lobby space connected to the central inner theater, itself lined with two lush vertical plant walls.

Media coming soon!

We originally built this world as a special request for the Google Cloud Holiday Party, hosted by Morpheus XR back in AltspaceVR. The world was a big hit, and we since enjoyed hosting many other meetups and presenations there. It’s quite beautiful, there’s northern lights in the sky, shooting stars, howling wind through snowy hills, and you can even go canoing out on the lake just by hopping in! We have moved this space across a few platforms but they keep closing so it is currently unavailable to view sadly. This is one that we are working on resurrecting somewhere soon.

We worked with producer Adrian Driscoll and his team at Collimation to create and launch a holographic Hip Hop Cypher in virtual reality. Set in a dark, rat-infested underground NY subway station, each performer was beamed onto our stage as a full-body projection. Original photography by artist Young Guru was featured throughout the space.

⭐ The project was featured in the first episode of the PBS series “Hip-Hop and the Metaverse”

Here is a world right out of author Helen Lundström Erwin’s Historic Novel: Sour Milk in Sheep’s Wool. We worked with Helen to recreate this café depicted in her novel, which serves as her main characters’ meeting space during the women’s suffrage movement. Now she can host readings of her own book inside of a setting from the book itself. Talk about “meta!”

Welcome to the longest running comedy club in virtual reality, literally! This show started back in AltspaceVR and has since traveled across the metaverse and back to finally land in VRChat full time. The club itself was designed to keep this show as immersive and grounded as possible. Even though there is a trap door and explosions!

🏆 The show itself was the recipient of the 2023 Raindance Immersive award for Best Immersive Experience.

Soaring above the color-shifting laser-lined landscape of the metaverse, this semi-sentient automaton glides ever toward the famed Simulation City. A clever stage and seating area adorn it’s back, comfortably housing an audience to bear witness to the weekly worldcast taking place there known as Simulation Nation. At least it used to when the podcast was running but now it stands as a memorial to the show.

On February 20th 2022, we debuted our second world in the ActNowVR series: the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (formerly known as Ayers Rock) in Australia, to celebrate the United Nation’s World Day of Social Justice & International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022-2032) in support of the UN International Labour Organization (UN ILO).

⭐ Over the span of 24 hours, people gathered from across the world to appreciate the beauty of Uluru, the culture and art of the Anangu aboriginal people, and the local flora and fauna found in the park.

On January 24th 2022, the Act Now Live VR Experience launched its first monthly Global VR event inside one of our very own hand-crafted VR worlds! Working with UNESCO, the Act Now VR series supports the United Nations’ campaign for individual action on climate change and sustainability.

This first world in the series features our digital twin of the World Expo 2020’s iconic Al Wasl Dome in Dubai and our own original designed Lotus Lobby, connected via a short promenade with two relaxing alcoves: the drum circle and the firepit.

When Golden Apple Comics wanted to host a WonderCon event in virtual reality, they hired Big Rock Creative to produce it, who in turn hired us to custom build a 3D digital twin of Golden Apple Comics in LA (along with some added VR magic!)

Referencing photos provided by Golden Apple Comics and Google, we modeled out the storefront on Melrose Street, faithfully recreated the inside of Golden Apple Comics, and built an added Anaheim Convention Center inspired promenade for events, accessible via a magic portal through the back of the store.

⭐ The venue was often used for official panels and talks by comic industry legends at DC, Marvel, Heavy Metal, and more.

Feburary 2021

Ben Erwin asked us to revamp our “steampunk in the sky” inspired events dome for the Polys WebXR Awards Live Broadcast event in AltspaceVR. This entailed texture, reflections & lighting updates, the addition of spotlights (which we animated in Blender), added 3D logos + the event”’s iconic trophies, graphics/signage about the awardees, and installation of two mirrored watch-party screens + platforms. We designed the dome and the spokes in a modular way to allow for future alterations of the spokes/tunnels and their platforms.
