Core Values
01
Real Human Connection
People aren’t emojis. We communicate so much beyond our words. We believe bringing real people into VR + AR, not just a cartoon avatar, provides an incredibly powerful tool for helping people to deeply connect and bond with one another.
02
Everyone Sits Front Row
We believe in a world where everyone gets the good seats. That’s where the magic happens. Whether it’s a front row seat to your favorite performance, a training experience, or a college lecture. At 8i, our guiding principle is to democratize access for all.
03
Keep It Simple
Even the most amazing experience can be unusable if it is too challenging to setup, integrate, and distribute. We don’t consider it “done” until it’s easy enough for everyone to access without having to be a scholar. We lead with simplicity to drive real impact.
04
Live The Content
We aim to change the way we view and interact with content. We want a world where instead of passively watching a presentation, you’re teleported inside a new reality with the simple click of a button. Viewing content is so 2020. Let’s experience it.
05
Sustainability Matters
We believe in triple-bottom-line principles that support people, planet, and prosperity. To create a sustainable future for humanity, we must focus on reducing unnecessary travel and improving digital connection.
06
Teleport Empathy
Communication expands far beyond words and vocabulary. Facial expressions, body language, and energy are meant to be seen, felt, heard. We mean to make it possible to literally “put yourself in someone else’s shoes”.
