A creative enthusiast, inquisitive, fuelled by unwavering enthusiasm, I desire to build enriching & interactive experiences. My hobby of learning and exploring newer formats of experience led me to become an XR Experience Designer and finish my 2 year masters degree in Immersive Media Design.

Brian Peiris

Brian Peiris has been sitting at the intersection of XR and the Web since 2013. An early backer of the original Oculus Rift kickstarter, he started experimenting with practical applications of VR, using his skils as a fullstack developer to build a JavaScript VR live-coding app that went viral. This lead to a job at AltspaceVR, a startup at the time, where he established their web-based SDK and developer community.

Brian now works at Mozilla as part of the Mozilla Hubs team, who have been building their virtual social platform since 2017.
