Flipside is a social media platform built on pure imagination

What if you were to combine social media with a virtual TV studio? The results would be a social media platform focused on pure imagination and hyper creativity. Sounds crazy, but it makes total sense in the metaverse.

And that is exactly what Flipside is, the first social media platform built on a foundation of pure imagination. You can think of it as the TikTok of immersive entertainment, or like stepping inside of a content creator’s mind.

Why the need for a new social media platform for the metaverse?

Because the thinking that’s gone into existing metaverses is too limited to the original vision of what a metaverse is, which makes great fodder for science fiction, but isn’t a complete vision of what that could look like. It’s missing real-time content creation at the heart of it all, which is exactly where Flipside comes in.

Spatial computing empowers a level of real-time content creation never seen before. Instead of animating frame by frame, or building interactivity in a game engine, now you just become a character on a virtual set, and your words and movements become the performance. When you press save, the recording is done. That fast.

Next-gen creators

We’re seeing the emergence of what we call next-gen creators. Creators who are XR native and spatial first. Who feel perfectly themselves embodying an avatar and who understand that identity is something that can shift and morph even from moment to moment. Who step through virtual worlds as fluidly as stepping through a door. The inventors and discoverers of what’s possible in this new spatial computing paradigm.

And we know audiences have been dreaming of the idea of being able to jump inside of the content they’re seeing, from Mary Poppins and gang jumping inside of a chalk drawing, or Alice falling down the rabbit hole long before that.

So here’s our tribute to next-gen creators and their fans. We’ll be there watching your creations and celebrating the vision you bring to the birth of a new space for imagination and endless creativity.

Welcome to Flipside.

Flipside Studio is dead, long live Flipside! The social media platform for next-gen creators and their fans

February 29, 2024 - 6:00am - by Lux

Flipside is so much more than a virtual TV studio – it’s the first social media platform built around pure creativity and imagination.

We’ve come a long way from being a virtual TV studio for spatial content creation. Today we’re announcing Flipside Studio is now simply called Flipside.

With creator channels and social sharing features built right in, Flipside is now a full-blown metaverse social media platform where next-gen creators can post their spatial recordings to their channels to share with their fans.

We’ve heard from many Flipside creators, and the message is clear: Creators need a way to reach their fans directly, not just on other social platforms, where they can only show a window into their spatial creations.

Today, we’re saying loud and clear: We hear you, and that’s exactly what Flipside is moving forward.

To be clear, all of the Flipside Studio features like our camera switcher are sticking around. Flipside will always excel at producing 2D content for cross-promotion on other platforms, but our vision is to help creators build a following that can interact directly with their spatial and immersive content.

Introducing Flipside tokens

Tokens are the virtual currency of Flipside. They provide a way to pay for virtual goods or premium features, but more importantly, they provide a way for creators to generate revenue from their Flipside content.

Our mission is to help creators build sustainable channels where they can earn real money from their content. That’s why we’re introducing creator payouts from day 1 in our token system. When you reach the payout threshold, visit the Flipside Creator Portal and click on the Request Payout button. It’s that easy.

Tokens are currently limited to paying for our AI integrations and sending tips to your favourite channels, but we will be expanding the program to include many new ways for creators to earn tokens over time.
