Built for Apple Vision Pro, this ground-breaking release allows ZOME to move beyond the traditional rectangular app window and become the first app, and the first AR platform, to operate fully as a spatial wearable designed for the body.

The result is a new kind of human-interface experience: one in which digital tools are no longer separate from the user, but integrated into movement, presence, and spatial awareness.

No longer confined to a flat screen or fixed interface frame, ZOME can now travel with the user as part of the body in space. Users are able to walk away from the main window and continue interacting with ZOME through a fluid interface that feels closer to science fiction and futuristic game design than to conventional apps.

Hussein Chalayan’s involvement as Creative Director has been central to this vision,” said Theodore Wohng, Founder of ZOME. “He brought a rare understanding of form, movement, and the relationship between the body and technology. What we have built together is not simply a new interface, but a new design language for spatial computing.

From the beginning, ZOME has been about placing digital content into the world in a way that feels alive, poetic, and native to space,” Theodore added. “This latest release is a major step forward for us. The entire platform can now live on the user’s forearm as a true spatial wearable, freeing the experience from the limitations of the rectangle and allowing ZOME to become part of the body itself.

I have always been interested in how the body can become a site of transformation. With ZOME, the interface is no longer something we look at, but something we inhabit, extending into a wearable form on the forearm and transforming it into a living surface where digital space and physical presence converge,” said Hussein Chalayan.

Designed specifically for the spatial era, the new wearable interface reimagines how people navigate augmented reality systems. Instead of opening and closing distant floating windows, users can access ZOME instantly through a persistent forearm-based interface that remains intuitive, elegant, and embodied.

ZOME believes this design language points toward a broader future for software itself: away from static windows and screen-bound interfaces, and toward embodied systems that move with the user as naturally as clothing or gesture, becoming an extension of the body in space. This release reflects ZOME’s continued commitment to design, innovation, and technical achievement in spatial computing. ZOME is proud to be the first software company to bring this kind of interface into reality through its collaboration with Hussein Chalayan.

ZOME’s spatial wearable release is now available on Apple Vision Pro.




ZOME Launches New Chat Feature, Bringing Live Conversation Into Its Spatial Messaging Platform

New chat capability expands ZOME from spatial capsules and celestial messaging into real-time communication across mobile devices.

ZOME is a spatial social platform that allows users to plant digital memories and content anywhere in the world using location, time, images, activity, and the movements of the stars. With the introduction of ZOME Chat, users can now communicate more fluidly within the platform, adding a live conversational layer to ZOME’s existing architecture of message capsules, spatial media, and interactive discovery.

The new feature makes ZOME interactions even more human, social, and useful across both personal and professional applications. ZOME Chat allows for ongoing dialogue within that broader spatial framework.

The launch of Chat represents the next step in ZOME’s evolution as a platform where users can create not only location-based and time-based interactions, but also sustained social and creative exchanges.

The company plans to integrate ZOME Chat more deeply into its broader platform, which is built on the idea that communication can be anchored to the real world and to dynamic conditions. Existing features include multi-location messaging, time-release capsules, activity-based unlocking, celestial messaging, and spatial media experiences.

The release also strengthens ZOME’s position as one of the pioneers in spatial social communication. As adoption grows around wearable and spatial computing, ZOME continues to expand its toolset for creators, brands, institutions, and individuals seeking new ways to tell stories through place, presence, and experience.

ZOME’s development has included collaborations with leading cultural and luxury brands through spatial campaigns, live activations, and audience engagement. The company continues to build toward a future in which digital communication is layered meaningfully into the world around us.




ZOME Brings Spatial Messaging to the Body and Expands the World’s First Spatial Wearable Interface

ZOME, the spatial messenger and social platform connecting people, stories and commerce across devices and realities, today releases the next phase of its spatial interface for Apple Vision Pro. This interface expansion is built on the world’s first fully functional spatial wearable interface, designed in collaboration with renowned designer Hussein Chalayan MBE RDI.

ZOME’s new release turns the user’s forearm into an always-available message capsule dashboard, activated by the simple, familiar gesture of lifting one’s arm to check the time. This instinctive, everyday movement anchors spatial computing to the body’s own language and habits. Users can now browse nearby or personalised capsules in a scrolling list on their arm, preview attachments as thumbnails, from spatial videos and images to 3D objects and links, and open them with a simple look-and-tap gesture.

We wanted to make spatial content feel as natural as glancing at your own watch,” said Theodore Wohng, founder of ZOME. “With new information and updates on the forearm, you don’t have to reach into conventional menus or separate windows. This phase is about making that interaction more fluid: your arm becomes a surface where messages, activations, and stories can appear and disappear in real time, like a live interface, ready whenever you are. That is the moment when sci-fi becomes reality. Our goal is for ZOME to feel like a single spatial layer that travels with you, helping you connect with the surrounding world and others. This release is the next step in that evolution, and the foundation for the next generation of spatial features we are working on.

This launch marks another milestone in ZOME’s expanding spatial system, which allows capsules to be anchored to locations, tied to time and movement, and attached to celestial bodies like the Moon and planets. These can also be combined in rich logic chains (for example: visible only in a certain place, at a particular time, and under a specific sky).

This forearm interface update is now available on Apple Vision Pro, with ZOME planning to bring the same spatial wearable experience to Android XR devices, including Samsung Galaxy XR, as they reach consumers.

ZOME is the first spatial messenger and platform live across iOS, Android, Apple Vision Pro, and Android XR, and the company sees body-centred interfaces as a way to create continuity between smart glasses, phones, and future wearables.




ZOME Becomes the First Spatial Messenger and AR Social Platform Live Across All Major Ecosystems

We are proud to announce day-one availability of the ZOME Android XR app alongside Samsung’s Galaxy XR launch. With this release, ZOME becomes the first and only spatial social platform live across all four major ecosystems: iOS, Android, Apple Vision Pro (visionOS), and Android XR.

ZOME lets people and brands leave media, memories, and messages in the world as interactive “capsules” anchored to places, moments, and even celestial bodies, unlockable for storytelling, promotions, and commerce across devices.

The launch follows September recognition in The New York Times T Magazine, which ranked ZOME No. 2 in a list of 30 projects shaping the global cultural landscape. ZOME also holds granted patents across key territories for its spatial messaging technologies.

ZOME delivers reach, speed, and future-readiness in one platform: brands and creators can deploy a single spatial activation and instantly reach users across all major ecosystems; day-one availability on Android XR puts partners at the front of a rapidly accelerating market; and ZOME’s cross-platform core supports both cultural use cases and commercial campaigns, from retail and events to tourism and education. Partners can attach customized content, product links, and location-anchored ticketing and commerce to capsules, and measure engagement with unified analytics.

This cross-platform “deploy-once” approach reduces integration cost, accelerates go-to-market, and maximizes reach across every ecosystem.

This achievement follows ZOME’s day-one launch partnership with Apple Vision Pro, and now with Android XR added, the company continues to lead the way in building a unified, cross-platform spatial future, pioneering a new era where people, commerce and stories are seamlessly connected across devices and realities.

ZOME is available now on iOS, Android, and Apple Vision Pro (visionOS), and will be available day one in the Samsung Galaxy XR apps catalogue on Android XR on 21 October 2025.





Spatial Social Platform ZOME and Hussein Chalayan Unveil the World’s First Fully Functional Spatial Wearable Interface

ZOME, the Spatial Social Platform, unveils the release of the world’s first fully functional spatial wearable interface, designed by its creative director and acclaimed designer, Hussein Chalayan.

This groundbreaking interface extends seamlessly from the user’s body — blending technology, design, and spatial interaction into a single, intuitive gesture system.
