Building Community
with Social VR
Hi 👋 I’m Iva!
Co-founder, ARVR Women
2018 ARVR women Yearbook by Siciliana Trevino
Originally from
Yugoslavia
Mom- Artist "
Dad- Psychatrist #
They Taught me ✅ :
1. Self Expression
2. Compassion
Entrepreneurial Spirit 💫
The seed was plated 🌱
I studied apparel 👗 design
No wonder my first VR 😎
project combined
Fashion and Tech!
VR retail storefront WCL San Francisco 2014 RISD 2005
First VR experiences:
• Google Cardboard
• Oculus DK2 at SVVR
• Hosting VRLab
meetups
Not so fun fact: I was 1 of 3 women 😲
A field of entrepreneurs
Tiltbrush, Looksery sprouting from the community
VR pop-up store 2014-2016
Union Square San Francisco
Selling products built by community
**Women 👧 = 1. Top buyers in households
2. Most Underserved
We need to develop our own community!
This is how ARVR women was born—It was through a
garden of many plants 🌱 and flowers where I
discovered a new community! 💐
🌸 🌺 🌹 🌸 🌺 🌹 🌸
ARVR Women
An online network and real world meetup
for women and allies in the immersive tech
industry that supports:
1. Community 👭👫
2. Connection 🌈
3. Professional Growth 🌟
💐 💐
I started making new VR
friends!
Who became Admins of ARVR Women!
Goal: A platform for she/he/they
entering the space to share what they
are working on and who they are. We
wanted our community to have a
voice.
Getting to know our
community 🦋
Normally community is in a 2D
newsfeed- with tools like Facebook
Spaces we knew that feeling of
presence and connecting virtually
with others would allow us to truly get
to know our community! 🎉
Paige posts to
ARVR Women
• Social VR garden 🌱 via
Tiltbrush 🎨
• Invites members to
contribute virtual drawings
• We connect and start
meeting in social VR
regularly! 😃
FB Spaces VR
Virtual Community Garden🦋
Connecting through social VR and Art
VR enabled us to connect and share a space no matter
what the distance. We met IRL and felt like we already
knew each other!
Change the way we
communicate
Image created by Navah Berg

“By using facebook spaces we discovered a
powerful tool to engage with our community
and showcase the creative work of our
members.”
–Iva Leon
