Social XR has real economic power. Never thought it’d take me to the UN 💙 The United Nations and The World Bank invited me to talk about virtual worlds. And I got to represent the creator side. Not just the platforms. Not just the companies. But the humans behind the headsets ✨ #socialVR

Play is where connection begins 🎮💫 What makes a world feel alive? We explored this with @powjams.bsky.social & Lauren Schroeder in Viverse: • What sparks play? • What keeps people coming back? • What happens when we design for joy? Not just game mechanics—how to get people involved. #SocialVR

Don’t build cardboard spaces. You know the kind: Pretty. Polished. But empty. Looks immersive… Until you interact. Then the illusion breaks. If nothing responds or invites participation— it’s not a space. It’s just a set. #SocialVR #SpatialNetworks #XR

I made it!! 😍 #Canva
