Context:
In 2022, XPR Labs joined the VR/AR Association. As the VRARA plays host to many startups, innovators, and contributors in the immersive technology vertical, it was a natural fit for XPR, who quickly began to lead the Montréal chapter of the association. However, despite being one of the foremost immersive technology associations, the VRARA had little to no presence in virtual social spaces when XPR joined. Thus, XPR began work on the VRARA HQ, a fully-featured immersive space that could be accessed and experienced through VR.
Challenge:
The VRARA HQ would be a coworking environment as well as a venue for events, and would need to accommodate for both use cases. It would need offices to house any number of VRARA members, conference rooms, meeting rooms, event spaces, and a public lobby - many of these functions would call for new innovations.
Solution:
The HQ saw two new developments: modular environments and instance-based capacity. With a modular structure, the venue could expand indefinitely — new office wings could be added, or existing wings extended. To allow multiple events or meetings to run concurrently, the venue could be hosted in multiple instances. This effectively cloned the venue into a new virtual world, like a distinct server, allowing any number of users to be accommodated.
Results:
Upon completing the VRARA HQ, XPR began hosting networking and educational events in the venue — for the opening event, XPR held a company Christmas party in the venue with live musicians, and invited VRARA members to attend. Many VRARA members and partners claimed virtual offices, letting them further their VR goals through the immersive space. For XPR, designing the HQ helped develop strategies for VR coworking spaces, creating a whole new category of virtual environment.
