Find VR/AR friends near you

VR and AR are virtual and augmented reality: VR puts on a headset and replaces your surroundings, while AR layers digital objects on top of the real world. Fans bond over the jaw-drop of a great demo and the comedy of watching a friend duck behind a couch to dodge something that is not there.

How to find people who share your love of vr/ar

In Partnr you add VR/AR to your interests, set how far you'll travel, and browse nearby people who like it too. When you both show interest you can chat and make a plan.

  • Host a headset night where everyone rotates through a favorite experience

  • Build a tiny AR filter or scene together as a weekend experiment

Conversation starters for VR/AR friends

  • “What was your first time in a headset like, and did your stomach survive?”
  • “Do you use VR mostly for games, workouts, or making things?”
  • “Will AR glasses ever feel as normal as phones?”

Questions about finding VR/AR friends

How can I meet people who are into virtual reality?

Online VR spaces are full of people, but most of them live nowhere near you. Partnr helps you find the nearby ones: add VR/AR to your profile, see who shares it, and invite them over for a headset night.

Is VR better with friends in the same room?

Passing the headset around while everyone else watches and heckles is half the fun. If none of your friends own a headset, an interest-first friend app like Partnr can turn up nearby enthusiasts who do.
