For Virbela’s 10th anniversary, we rounded up a few images of our original virtual campus.
The first Virbela campus was actually created in an innovation lab at the University of California San Diego, a couple years before the Virbela organization of today formed. Virbela Co-Founder & President Alex Howland was there earning his Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology.
His doctoral thesis? That people perform better when they feel connected to others within a shared space.
Now, Virbela is the most advanced enterprise Metaverse available for use today. Last week, at Hands In, we launched a fully redesigned campus to carry companies into the future of remote work.
But, before that, there was this:
2012 vs 2022 Virtual Buildings


2012 vs 2022 Theater Auditorium


2012 vs 2022 Meeting Rooms
