Introduction

Since Stonehenge, storytelling and shared spaces have been fundamental to human connection. Today, we're entering a new era where these timeless elements merge through immersive, AI-driven 3D experiences. This isn't merely a technological leap—it's a cultural evolution that transforms how we interact with each other and our environment.

Consider the groundbreaking performance "assimilating XR" by choreographer Hiroaki Umeda at MUTEK Japan 2023. It showcased how mixed reality pushes experiential boundaries by seamlessly blending contemporary dance and digital expression. Similarly, the powerful XR performance "Kagami," created by legendary composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, was described by The Guardian as an "otherworldly," profoundly moving experience. Both demonstrate XR's potential to redefine presence itself.

The 2D internet we use today, filled with images, video, and text, has brought us far. But it was never designed to support the kinds of spatial, intelligent, and real-time experiences we now demand. The 3D Internet is emerging as its natural evolution: a world where digital content is no longer trapped in screens, but exists around us, responding to us, and enhancing our physical reality.XR’s potential also transforms everyday experiences—social interactions, entertainment, shopping, fitness, and education—alongside practical applications like industrial maintenance, medical training, and military simulations. With advanced XR devices from Meta, Apple, and Xreal becoming more accessible, immersive gaming, virtual social gatherings, interactive educational content, personalized fitness, and immersive shopping are reshaping daily life.

Yet, moving XR from specialized uses to mainstream adoption is challenging. Just as the internet’s shift from static pages to dynamic multimedia wasn't easy, transitioning to a true 3D Internet faces significant hurdles. Today's infrastructure simply isn't ready for real-time, immersive experiences—like trying to run a Shinkansen bullet train on outdated railway tracks. We urgently need greater computing power, distributed storage solutions, and ultra-low latency connectivity.

Mawari was founded on the belief that immersive content should be accessible to everyone. Since 2017, we've built the infrastructure to make this possible. Long before others recognized the gap, we understood the challenge clearly: delivering AI-powered, rich, interactive 3D content in real-time required rethinking internet architecture itself. Traditional infrastructure can't handle this—you can't stream real-time digital humans or spatial content through pipelines designed for static images or videos. This demands GPUs positioned close to users, distributed computing and storage, and ultra-low latency. While giants like Google and AWS have resources, they lack incentives to open their monopolized infrastructures.

Another critical bottleneck is content quality. Existing XR experiences often fall short of expectations for realism and responsiveness, hindering seamless physical-digital integration. Current XR devices remain bulky and inconvenient, far from the effortless usability needed for mainstream adoption. To create intuitive, lightweight XR devices—as easy to wear as glasses—we must offload processing power to remote GPU solutions with ultra-low latency, something current infrastructure cannot fully deliver.

At the intersection of immersive XR, AI computing, and advanced networking—emerging multi-billion-dollar markets—stands Mawari. We created the Mawari Network, an AI and XR-native delivery platform purpose-built for the 3D Internet. Powered by the principles of DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks), it enables communities and partners to build, operate, and scale spatial computing infrastructure in a capital-efficient and collaborative way.

Our vision isn't to replicate yesterday’s internet. Instead, we’re creating an entirely new internet—one where immersive experiences naturally blend into daily life. Imagine AI-driven avatars guiding education, healthcare, navigation, and cultural interactions. Picture XR devices that are lightweight, intuitive, and always seamlessly connected, making digital content feel like genuine presence rather than mere data.

At Mawari, we're not just building another technology platform. We're redefining how humanity experiences space, stories, and each other.

This is our mission. This is our time. And this is the future we’re enabling with the Mawari Network.

Join the revolution.
