As big businesses scrambled to build their virtual world metaverse, a small team of technology misfits looked at what life was like inside a virtual world, and more importantly how to make it safer.
Idea
Build a safe virtual world
The concept is to facilitate everything from social interactions to entertainment, shopping and studying in one, safe, virtual world environment. Allowing children to easily teleport from one experience to another, with no downloads or VR goggles required.
Just hover…
You’re basically going to be able to do everything that you can online today, as well as some things that don’t make sense online – like hovering.
Engagement
Play games…
The defining quality of the virtual world is presence, which is this feeling that you’re really there with another person, in another place. Rooms, avatars, gaming and digital objects are central to how we express ourselves, and this leads to entirely new experiences and opportunities.
Child Safety
To Protect & Serve Children Online
When children learn to navigate the internet they tend to be enthusiastic and trusting. The flip side is that they can lack the ability to discern when they might be at risk.
Vizwoz built the safest cyber space for children to explore online. Complete with swear filter, moderators, police force and an anti-bullying VKrew.
