XRGuide bridges the discoverability gap for all immersive, AR/VR/XR spatial events & experiences

With a fragmented ecosystem of a dozen+ platforms and many WebXR experiences that aren't easy to find or search for, our industry needs a simple way to share a top list of shows, stories, games, apps and experiences that's curated for a wide mix of public audiences and use cases.

How XRGuide Works

Like a mix between the old TV Guide and Michelin Guide for restaurants, XRGuide is a go-to-resources to find the best in immersive media, from art and stories to games, worlds, journeys and adventures. Events, festivals and conferences, museum features, tours, new releases and coming soon themed entertainment will be added along with more in fulldome and other forms of immersive and expanded media that meets the social side of XR in public spaces.

How Evo at Realitycraft built XRGuide

This project was first proposed in 2018 and built as a group of guides and curates privately over the last few years of prototyping ideas with other curators and festival leaders around the world. These guides are now getting in touch to share new releases regularly that will feed the World Catalog, built by Evo with the help of colleagues such as Ben Erwin, Julian Reyes, Alison Morano, Julie Smithson and Karen Alexander with the MetaTraversal portal crawl events, where we've tested 100s of worlds over the last few years. Today the XRGuide forms an easy first stop for new audiences to learn about the amazing award-winning works by our creators worldwide.

Challenges and Opportunities

This is a great time to let us know about your new experience, let's get in touch to discuss partnerships, new features and ways to work together. There's a link to Buy Me a Coffee in the website to help pay for the compute, credits and accounts used along the way, including Gemini, NotebookLM, Lovable and now Figma and CapCut for videos and GTM.

Accomplishments

The World Catalog under the XRGuide is now over 250 amazing experiences on over a dozen platforms, most are free and easy to reach through the web or in VR. About a dozen colleagues have been testing this week as I start sharing this work and building out the event functionality to find other catalogs and events with partners, as I start to meet with other curators and guides around the world.

What we learned

This is a vast and growing effort that will only be possible through a dedicated team of guides with some financial support, and there's a sense that this will be a great opportunity for partnership with the right allies.

What's next for XR Guide

I've proposed to turn the World Catalog into a physical art installation for museums which has been designed for a first installation in late 2026. The World Catalog is an ongoing work as well as the front app at XRGuide, which may be useful in mobile app form but for now works for web app uses as we prepare to GTM.
