World Trip to AltspaceVR

We recently embarked on an exciting journey through AltspaceVR, exploring virtual spaces guided by talented creators and world-builders. There are lots of cool events happening every day since the shutdown of the AltspaceVR platform was announced for March 10, 2023.

Let's take a look at what we found!

World #1 - AWAKEN THE GIANTS
by Julianna Loh

Awaken the Giants represents our Award-Winning Metaverse World in AltspaceVR. Featured on VIFF, HIFF, QLDXR Festival and top 50 Nominees at the Aurea Awards for Best XR Experience.

Julianna Loh’s Origin Story:

This art was designed and created as a personal interpretation of the riots that happened at the State Capital in Washington, DC (Jan 6, 2021). I painted this powerful piece in Google TiltbrushVR and then released it to the world. It was a hit with so many people not only because the artwork was beautiful but because it tapped into our collective definition of who we thought we were as a species.

Special Thank you to my co-partner Nicholas Liang for making the technology 'work' in so many platforms and for helping with the difficult, quiet yet essential tasks that have led to our successes.

World #2 - ARMANI’S PARLOUR
by Armani

Tribute to friends I’ve made in Altspace!

World #3 - JINGLEVILLE
by Julianna Loh

SUMMARY: Jingle Ville was created in an unbelievably turnaround of four weeks starting in mid November and going live on December 21 2020. We celebrated the theme: "The spirit of xmas" as a way to help people find a place to "escape" the rainy, gloomy dark skies and shortened days of our pacific northwest coastal city.

PURPOSE: To create a joyful world that brought the spirit of Xmas to people in Vancouver and around the globe. To increase mental health and well-being against a backdrop of soaring depression and anxiety rates.
