Mozilla Hubs

One of the spaces is the GreenHouse NAXOS, an open virtual playground created in cooperation with studioNAXOS. The project uses Mozilla Hubs – an open source project that explores how communication in mixed reality can come to life. We have designed our own 3D festival experience for NODE20 in Hubs which will be a platform for gathering in virtual space, meet ups, workshops and for our exhibition. 

 

In Mozilla Hubs you will support people with:

  • navigating their avatar through different spaces
  • joining a virtual session or workshop or other parts of the program
  • engaging and interacting with other users and the community
  • building additional structures
