Most digital platforms are designed for passive consumption on screens, pulling people away from the environments they live in. We are exploring the opposite: technology that brings people together in real-world environments. To do that, software must understand place , not just users and clicks. What We Are Building Vyry builds context-aware AI quests that get students to meet IRL. The system turns environments — starting with university campuses — into interactive canvases where students coordinate actions and co-create digital artifacts anchored to real locations. We are in closed beta and measure strong signals: 12k → 175k students reached in 2025 25% of MAUs complete quests pilots show up to 40% reduction in social isolation The team combines consumer product, spatial, and game-world expertise , with former talents from: Roblox • Niantic • Ubisoft alongside a research layer that includes: 2 professors + 4 PhDs The company is also part of: Google AI Startup Program and prototyping on Meta’s invite-only Wearables SDK What You Would Work On Core product stack includes: Unity real-time spatial environment layer persistent digital artifacts anchored to real-world locations multi-user spatial interaction systems AI-assisted pipelines for generating spatial objects Hard Problems We’re Exploring Persistent spatial worlds — artifacts anchored to real places that persist acr
