I've been working with Hubs for a couple of years now, and it's been really great for our particular needs. It's easy to setup and deploy your own virtual world on a custom domain, it's all open source so it's easy to re-skin / add features on top of, and the Hubs community discord is very active and helpful. We're using it in a couple of ways:
1) Building virtual venues for social organizations to meet and host workshops in. Youth groups etc. are having a very difficult time adapting to remote first environments, and having a space to gather and have a sense of identity has proven valuable to them. More info at [0] if you want to pop in and see it live.
2) Browser based live theatre is also something we've been exploring in our collaboration with On Board, a rotating anthology of short virtual performances by experimental creators. There's a show coming up next week if you want to check it out [1]!
We could be doing the same thing on a 3rd party platform live VR Chat or Horizons, but the open source nature of Hubs means that we a lot more agency over user privacy & security, as well as the ability to add and modify the stack as needed.
It's still early days for us, but we're building a business on top of Hubs and are getting really positive feedback from our customers.
