What Does Immersive Web Mean?

The immersive web is the next stage of the internet. It’s about meaningful interactions between brands, products and people in beautiful, immersive 3D digital spaces. It’s more pervasive, more enriching, and more beneficial to both brand and user.

This transformative new wave is not only fostering richer interactions, but is altogether redefining the online landscape with more valued and memorable digital experiences.

At Journee, our worlds are accessible worldwide at the touch of a button, all through web browsers—because we believe these experiences should be open to the masses, not restricted by the latest wearable tech.

Metaverse or Immersive Web?

In the realm of digital terminology, the term "metaverse" often blurs the boundaries with the immersive web, creating confusion. While some envision the metaverse as the forthcoming internet iteration, characterized by spatial, experiential, and interconnectedness, others perceive it as a single virtual world.

To us, the metaverse is just a facet of the broader immersive web landscape. While immersive experiences are a significant component, the immersive web encompasses a more comprehensive integration of the internet, where the metaverse offers the foundations that give rise to the immersive web.

Types of Experiences - Where Are The Immersive Web Applications Hosted?

In the immersive web, there are two different kinds of experience (metaverse); shared and owned, each with different goals.

Shared experiences are spaces shared by multiple businesses, typically used to increase brand awareness and rapidly reach an audience. In these, a company will introduce their branding into a 3rd party owned world. Popular platforms include Fortnite and Roblox.

In contrast, owned experiences are virtual worlds hosted and operated by a brand itself. Owned experiences (owned-metaverse) give brands total control over design, brand touchpoints, streaming quality, target audiences, the data of its users, and their feedback. Create your own on JourneeX

What are they for?

There are near limitless use cases for immersive web applications, including:

• Digital testing

• Fashion shows

• iCommerce stores

• Virtual prototyping using digital twins

• Brand experiences

• New product launch

• Campaign awareness

• Training and education

To date, some of the most mind blowing events have been huge commercial successes. Travis Scott’s Astronomical was viewed by over 45 million people.

At Journee, we’ve worked alongside the World Wildlife Foundation to create Ocean Detox, reaching participants from over 180 countries and cleaning more than 2400 kg of plastic from our oceans, driven by our action. We’ve also worked with the likes of BMW, H&M, and Vogue to deliver immersive experiences like no other—be that a Virtual Showroom or Digital Racing experience.

Working alongside H&M, we brought BGYO fans from across the world together in a virtual concert. The virtual experience showcased a trendsetting fusion between fashion, art and technology.

What else can we do in the immersive experience (metaverse)? Depending on the needs of your business, each experience may need different integrations: Whether that’s ChatGPT-powered AI companions, a virtually-integrated CRM or even NFTs.
