For your inner circle: - Keep it tight: You can only add up to 20 friends on Bubbl, so it's all about quality over quantity. - No follower count stress: Forget about numbers; just add your closest friends and family and enjoy the moment. - Be real, be you: Bubbl is a space to share your authentic thoughts without the pressure of likes or filters. - Send reactions: Show your friends some love with Bubbl reactions.

Inventing the future with Hello, Dot Hi everyone, I’m Asim, Marketing, Brand, & Community Lead for Peridot and long-time member of Niantic. I’m very excited to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Peridot by sharing how we’re expanding the world of Peridot from the smartphone to future devices. You may be familiar with Peridot — which we launched here on Product Hunt last year! Today, we’re revealing a new experience from the Peridot franchise, “Hello, Dot”, an early mixed reality showcase we’ve been working on the past couple of months. If you have a Meta Quest 3, you’ll be able to try this experience now by downloading it directly from App Lab. Hello, Dot, takes the best parts of caring for your adorable Dot companions and brings them to life through the magic of mixed reality. In this immersive experience, you’ll be able to admire just how visually stunning your Dots are up close, and develop a special bond with them as you play together. Imagine being able to hook your hands under your Dot’s arms and pick them up – and then toss them up and let them float back down into your embrace. Or perhaps your favorite song is playing in the background and you want to have a little dance party with your Dot. The possibilities are endless and the joy you’ll feel is REAL. Like many of you, I dream for the day we’ll be able to see Dots by our side outdoors through true AR glasses. While that day isn’t here just yet, we’ll keep experimenting to invent for the future content and experiences we’d like to see come to life. We can't wait to see what you think of our newest experience, and we'd love your feedback to help us make Peridot even better. Thanks for your support! –Asim Ahmed (Global Product Marketing Lead) & the Peridot team P.S. to celebrate with our community, we’ll be releasing an adorable headset cosmetic your Dot can wear in the mobile game.
