In 2016, I used a combination of charisma and beer to goad my new colleagues into joining me at Microsoft HoloHacks for the weekend. There, we created an initial prototype of The Floor is Lava for HoloLens.
​
We fell so in love with the game that we turned it into an entire product, dubbing ourselves The HoloFriends for life.

This early XR cult classic was widely celebrated, and even written up in VICE.

It was the best.
