By entering the AR Metaverse, VivaTech becomes a futuristic, immersive, and collaborative space, where everyone can shape and customize it to express their voice.

Wanderland, the AR Metaverse that competes with the VR Metaverse

For Wanderland’s founders, Thomas Nigro and Soraya Jaber, the Metaverse is the next computing platform, thanks to augmented reality: “People don’t want to live through virtual reality, cut off from the real world”, says Soraya Jaber “With augmented reality, people are empowered as they can add digital content in the real world for others to see. AR is an enrichment of the world, not an escape in a virtual reality that most of the time is in fact restricted to a multiplayer game”.

Contrary to some of the digital giants, Wanderland promotes an ethical and open ecosystem that offers multiple bridges to other apps and the Internet: “Our responsibility is to build a better vision of the metaverse, far from the existing closed ecosystems that aim at preventing competition and keeping users at all price. We want an open and interoperable metaverse”.
