Active connection > passive content consumption

The next big social platform will be spatial. Instead of passively consuming algorithmically-selected content, the focus will be moving in and out of conversations, problem solving within a team, and multiplayer games.

Spatial communication ecosystems are poised to be a major driver of innovation in education. As districts embrace SPACE, safety and emotional well-being need to be paramount.

The tradeoff between privacy and safety is even more important for real-time experiences than for passive content consumption platforms. Innovation to address this challenge is critical for Spatial Communication Ecosystems, especially those built for schools.

We know that student choice and agency drive better academic and social outcomes. Ideal spatial platforms are built around student agency: the freedom to move around virtual worlds and safely connect with one another, explore and create.

What are the top three attributes necessary for a virtual world built just for kids? Safety? Fun? Social connection? Co-op learning?
