Mozilla acquires Active Replica
Mozilla, the developer of the Firefox Internet browser announced that it acquired Active Replica, a Vancouver-based startup developing a web-based metaverse. Active Replica will support Mozilla’s ongoing work with Hubs, the latter’s VR chatroom service and open source project.
The Active Replica team will work on personalized subscription tiers, improving the onboarding experience and introducing new interaction capabilities in Hubs. According to Mozilla SVP Imo Udom, Active Replica will support Mozilla’s ongoing work with Hubs, the latter’s VR chatroom service and open source project. Specifically, he sees the Active Replica team working on personalized subscription tiers, improving the onboarding experience and introducing new interaction capabilities in Hubs.
“Together, we see this as a key opportunity to bring even more innovation and creativity to Hubs than we could alone,” Udom said in a blog post. “We will benefit from their unique experience and ability to create amazing experiences that help organizations use virtual spaces to drive impact. They will benefit from our scale, our talent, and our ability to help bring their innovations to the market faster.”
With Active Replica, Ervin and Denis sought to build a platform for virtual events and meetings built on top of Mozilla’s Hubs project. Active Replica sold virtual event packages that included venue design, event planning, live entertainment and tech support. The acquisation will bolster its metaverse strategy.
