Quick Info
Project Summary
Nowhere was established in early 2020 in response to COVID-19 to connect humans in a time of unprecedented social distance. Connect, explore and create in the metaverse in seconds. Cruise around, see the worlds, find an event, maybe bump into someone.
Nowhere is a video chat and conference site, opting for first-person avatars and 3D environments instead of the traditional flat screen Zoom call. This format allows for proximity-based audio, places to explore while in a call, and overall a more organic video conference experience.
