Love in virtual reality

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Love in virtual reality

Looking for love? Find out more about the businesses bringing love into the metaverse.

Hannah Mullane investigates what the future of finding love might look like, speaking to entrepreneurs developing dating and wedding businesses in the virtual world.

We take a look at the companies moving the business of love to the metaverse. 

Hannah Mullane meets Aurora Townsend, co-founder of the world’s first virtual reality dating app, who tells us about what customers can expect and Hannah heads into the metaverse herself to meet Marc Charlton, founder of Dates VR, a virtual reality speed dating event.

Hannah also hears from a couple who got married on a virtual reality platform called Decentraland. That company's creative producer also explains what it’s really like to plan a virtual wedding because just like in the real world, weddings are big business.
