What is Rival?
We were sick of doomscrolling on a phone - so we created the next evolution of social media, which lives inside VR.
It is the 3D version of Tiktok/Instagram. It is where creators share, and users can explore new dimensions and content was just a swipe.
You’ve got to try it to understand it. Rival lives inside your headset, so put it on and let us know what you think!
