Mozilla acquires ‘Active Replica’ to offer Metaverse experience to users. The browser giant confirmed this information on November 30. News TechCrunch.
Active Replica typically creates a web-based metaverse. Mozilla senior vice president Imo Udom said Active Replica will be linked to the ongoing work of Mozilla Hub. In the future, VR will support chatroom services and open source projects.
The Active Replica team will primarily work on specialized subscription tiers. It will also improve the onboarding experience and add new interaction capabilities to Mozilla’s hubs. Prior to the acquisition, Active Replica had never publicly announced any outside funding.
Active Replica was founded in 2020 by Jacob Ervin and Valerian Dennis. Ervin and Dennis took jobs at Mozilla a few weeks ago.
