LOS ANGELES - Marylandian -- Wormhole™  (https://www.wormhole.gg/), a global scale social technology platform that merges the real world with the virtual world, received a massive amount of sign ups from Twitch Partners, affiliated streamers, and fans alike at TwitchCon 2019.

For the first time ever, people can experience enhanced teleporting throughout the world like you are actually there and walking around – to socialize, interact with their favorite streamer, play games, crowdsource and shop. Known as Wormholing™, this is made possible by a patented platform that combines commerce enabled XR, Search and Stitch-able Streaming.

Streamers and attendees at TwitchCon noted that Wormhole™ is "like Ready Player One coming to real life."

"Being able to stay home and go to other locations from the comfort of my bedroom is exciting, especially as a person who already travels quite a bit. I also think that being able to see the live streams of the avatars will help with discoverability, which is so important to growing on the platform." -D1 (@xD1x)

"The fact that you can be anywhere you want, and with your friends, is really cool." -Classify

Alongside D1 and Classify, Streamers and Social Media Influencers signing up with the platform included OMGitsfirefoxx, Disguised Toast, and Sleightlymusical, EE, Chloe Lockley (ChloeLock), WantedOW, Pettans, Tocata, Bryce Hutchinson (ItsBrycehutch), Amouranth, Rizzoh & VGBootCamp.

Wormhole™ enables streamers to engage and monetize their brand and communities more easily. Streamers can create customized 3D Spatial Environments, known as Clubhouses, that fans and friends can hang out in as custom avatars, as well as purchase exclusive skins and merch, even when they are not streaming.

Created by Wormhole Labs, the technology has been in Beta in 108 countries and is designed to be a platform that builds community and gives streamers and their fans a more immersive and intimate social experience.
