RP1 and the Metaverse Standards Forum™, through the Open Metaverse Browser Initiative (OMBI), today introduced Sneeze, the first metaverse browser engine (MBE) ever built. Available immediately as open source under the Apache 2.0 license, Sneeze gives developers, enterprises, hardware manufacturers, and researchers the foundational technology to build the open metaverse.

Six months after unveiling the world’s first metaverse browser at AWE 2025, RP1 is officially opening access on December 8, 2025 for developers everywhere to plug into the open spatial internet. RP1 will release the first public suite of tools and documentation, allowing anyone to build and self-host real-time 3D experiences using their own servers while owning their data and controlling their monetization. This puts the power directly in the hands of creators, developers, and companies to build the tools, services, and applications that fuel the next era of the spatial internet.

The world is on the brink of the most significant software transition since the advent of the web browser. Today, we browse flat websites on handheld screens. Tomorrow, we’ll browse 3D spatial content blended with the real world through AR and VR devices. The browser becomes a gateway to the first open ecosystem for 3D content.

RP1, a disruptive pioneer in the field of immersive virtual experiences, today unveiled the first public demo of its groundbreaking back-end technology offering the ability to bring together 100,000 unique individuals into a single, near infinitely-scalable and persistent virtual experience (scalable to billions).
