Hyperfy is a digital space platform where anyone, without needing to be an expert in technology or 3D design, can create and explore immersive virtual worlds. Access it from your web browser on any device, including virtual reality!

### What makes it special?

* **Flexible tools**: Create art galleries, event venues, virtual stores, educational classrooms, interactive games, digital retreats… or whatever you can imagine!
* **Community-focused**: A perfect space to gather, collaborate, livestream, or just hang out with friends. Worlds can be edited by teams in real time.
* **Open-source project for everyone**: Whether you’re a beginner or an expert in coding and 3D design, you can create worlds with intuitive tools or customize them with your own creations, lighting, and much more.
