Independent news platform Rocking Reality is committed to tracking the lightning-fast developments in the realms of the Digital Twins, Metaverse, Virtual Reality, and XR in the broadest sense. Our mission is to report on these domains through various mediums, including news articles, in-depth background stories, trends, videos, and blogs. Content is crafted by a team of experienced technology journalists, videographers, and photographers.

Editor-in-chief Marco van der Hoeven explains, “The Metaverse isn’t here yet, but we’re now witnessing the rapid emergence of the building blocks that will form this digital ecosystem. At the same time, we see a growing array of concrete solutions with which companies are presenting themselves in the virtual world. With Rocking Reality, we aim to provide a stage for such innovations and inspire businesses to take the step towards the Metaverse early on.”

In addition to delivering news, this platform will offer companies active in the Metaverse the opportunity to spotlight their propositions in the virtual world/Metaverse as content partners. They can reach executives involved in strategic-level investments in innovative technology, presenting themselves to this audience with high-quality content as thought leaders and pioneers in the field of digital innovation.

Founder partner Robert Mekking states, “The rise of the Metaverse is one of the most exciting developments since the invention of the Internet, and Dutch enterprises are fully engaging in it! So many thrilling initiatives are emerging at the moment, and with Rocking Reality, we want to provide a platform to share these stories and to follow what others are doing.”

Founder partner Randall van Poelvoorde adds, “It’s fantastic to build and dream together with so many people about the next version of the internet! The Metaverse can assist us in improving education and aiding the climate. Additionally, the potential to enhance human connection is promising. And above all, being online will become much more enjoyable. With Rocking Reality, we’re going to contribute to the visibility of the Metaverse community and the dissemination of knowledge.”
