Humanity has a movement problem.

Most of the technology you use in daily life helps you overcome human limitations of time and space. A bottle is a technology that helps you carry and preserve liquid. A video lets you watch something that happened in another time or place. An instant message allows you to chat to someone you are not standing next to. It’s incredible.

But technology has also pushed you to move less, like pressing a button and waiting for a delivery to arrive. Convenience was the goal, but a lack of movement is the result.

Sit, swipe, sleep, repeat. It’s not just sad, it’s depressing. Globally, 1.8 billion adults don’t move enough, according to the World Health Organization.¹

Life is something you move through, and your body has evolved to move you. Finding things you enjoy that get you moving, is truly one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.

So we created Villa to help people move more. Villa’s computer vision and spatial intelligence turn any room into a spatial fitness and gaming space, powered by the music you love.

Villa is launching on Mac, and works a bit like VR, but without a headset. You get the fun of immersive gaming, without the frictions of wearing the hardware.

Villa’s as easy to use as YouTube, and turns workouts into play, adding fun microdoses of movement to your day.

Villa’s co-founders helped build the foundations of Snapchat AR, creating products and technologies used daily by 100s of millions of people. Creating frontier spatial products the world loves to use is our superpower.

Today we’re excited to share that we’ve raised a $5.35M seed round led by Air Street Capital, with participation from Antipodean and Greenrok. Let’s get the world moving!

Download and play Villa. Have fun. More move.
