About

OurWorlds is a communication platform using extended reality to transform public and private spaces into interactive environments. We are activating content in select cities and locations around the world. This is being done for educational purposes, as well as entertainment. OurWorlds will continue to showcase an ever expanding selection of contributors and performances, beginning with a series dedicated to Native Americans. You will not see our content without our software. Once downloaded, the software enables a map and directions to a volumetric audio/visual experience that is then activated and accessible 24 hours a day at a pre-determined public location. A separate on-demand experience will be possible for private viewings. We believe the field of mixed reality offers a transformative new approach for contributors (artists, educators, historians and storytellers) to share their content with the public. The technology in our platform will provide compelling and immersive sensory experiences for the audience. Individuals will come away from these experiences with a unique connection to the contributor and their material. Our goal is to use technology to transform communication methods as well as enhance human understanding and information retention. Humans respond physiologically to their environment; while mixed reality is still in its infancy, it nonetheless offers users a palpable sense of presence and engagement, and is scientifically proven to radically alter the way viewers understand and retain content such as history, culture, art, performances, or current events. We seek to alter existing public and private environments. An additional goal of this project is to foster the equitable exploration and development of STEM within all communities. As a Native American-founded entity, OurWorlds hopes that this technology will be one of the ways that communities and contributors from all backgrounds will tell their stories and take control of their own historical narratives in the most modern way possible. Our flagship project seeks to help the public arrive at a greater understanding and truth about the Native American experience. OurWorlds seeks to move beyond traditional textbooks and empower communities and individual contributors to speak their own histories in a modern experiential realm for future generations to enjoy.
