OpenGate XR: una nuova interfaccia per creare in Mixed Reality

OpenGate XR: a new interface to create in Mixed Reality

The new UI of OpenGate XR marks a decisive step forward toward the democratization of Mixed Reality: cleaner, more intuitive, and even more powerful. Developed by Metagate, it represents a key evolution to make Mixed Reality truly accessible: designed for the Meta Quest 3 headset, it enables immersive experiences using natural gestures and intuitive interfaces. 3D assets, videos, and AI avatars are placed in the real space with precision, activated simply by wearing the headset and logging in with your credentials. Just use the same email and password used in the browser.

At the same time, the OpenGate WebApp allows you to design MR experiences directly from the browser, without writing code: assets are uploaded, AI avatars are configured, and the scene is organized. Everything is saved in the cloud, ready to be viewed on Meta Quest 3. Again, you log in with the same account – same email and password – to maintain perfect continuity between creation and usage. Thanks to the redesigned interface, it is now possible to build immersive experiences in just a few steps, directly from the Meta Quest 3 headset and the browser. The no-code builder has been optimized to offer maximum clarity, instant visual feedback, and guided flows to upload 2D, 3D, and video content, place it in physical space, and create interactive scenes.

Every element of the new UI is designed to reduce technical complexity, allowing even those with no XR development experience to create engaging environments, customized AI avatars, and unique narrative spaces. The hand-tracking system and millimeter-accurate spatial positioning make the interaction natural and smooth: Mixed Reality finally becomes accessible.

On the technical side, the new UI uses a modular component system with persistent spatial anchors, ensuring that each element remains in the intended position even after restarting the experience. Additionally, an advanced configuration panel for AI avatars has been introduced, allowing for the customization of voice, knowledge, and behavior of virtual assistants.

WHY OPENGATE?

OpenGate is already active and allows for the creation and management of mixed reality experiences in a simple, fast, and cost-effective way. Thanks to an intuitive interface and cloud support, you can:

  • Upload and use multimedia content (images, videos, 3D models) without technical skills, making them immediately available in XR experiences.
  • Create AI digital avatars that can interact with users, with just a few clicks.
  • Reduce production time: experiences can be built in just a few days, even by schools, museums, or cultural institutions.
  • Lower development and management costs: no dedicated technical team is needed, and main features are accessible even with the free plan or low-cost subscriptions.

Despite the growing spread of XR/Mixed Reality headsets in schools, museums, companies, and institutions, most of these devices remain unused or limited to simple demos due to the technical complexity and high costs of developing custom and engaging experiences.

OpenGate was created to fill this gap, offering a no-code and low-cost solution for the creation, management, and use of Mixed Reality experiences, making XR technology accessible to everyone. The platform allows you to upload digital assets, generate new content through Artificial Intelligence, and make them available in MR in just a few clicks, without any technical knowledge.

Sustainability: OpenGate eliminates the need to create temporary physical environments or costly setups, reducing materials, waste, and transport. Digital content is reusable and infinitely updatable.

Accessibility: The no-code experience enables schools, museums, SMEs, public bodies, and creatives to create and modify MR experiences independently, lowering barriers of cost and technical skills.

Inclusiveness: Easy access via QR code and the ability to upload multimedia content also help people with different abilities and backgrounds.
