Project Overview
NOWHERE is a pioneering WebXR platform that redefines virtual gathering and events by offering immersive 3D environments with dynamic spatial audio and video chat. Players seamlessly navigate through beautiful interactive spaces, fostering natural and more personal interactions for meetings and events big and small, festivals, concerts, conferences, live streams and more.
My Contributions
As Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, I spearheaded the creative vision and execution of NOWHERE. This involved building and leading a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, 3D specialists and designers to imagine, design and build a first of it's kind platform integrating cutting-edge immersive technologies such as GLSL, WebXR,  and crafting patented 3D spatial video chat at massive scale. I also led high-profile collaborations with industry leaders like Google XI, Encore, Yale, Upland, ZeroSpace, and Vogue, enhancing user engagement and presence.

Our partnership with Upland.me, a leading web3 platform with over 3 million players and 20k MAU, exemplifies NOWHERE’s ability to power immersive, scalable experiences through deep technical integration. With a custom API implementation, Upland launched Cafes — persistent 3D social spaces directly tied to in-game assets — enabling player-hosted events, live gatherings, NFT galleries, social hubs and branded meetups inside their mobile and web app.
We also collaborated to develop Track Hero, a social racing mini-game where players compete for Upland currency, blending gameplay with real-time interaction. The integration includes seamless crypto wallet connectivity and custom world logic, unlocking a exciting bridge between social presence, play, and commerce, where players spent thousands of hours playing and meeting others. This work underscores NOWHERE’s commitment to redefining digital space with immersive, inclusive, and user-driven design.
