Bridging the gap between the digital and the physical.
An applied-AI lab on Floor 10.
Immersive Commons is a members-run applied-AI lab on Floor 10 of Frontier Tower in San Francisco. It is a physical place — a floor full of builders, gear, and unfinished projects — and a public, agent-readable surface at the same address on the web. Our premise is simple: if AI can build it, we build it here, in software and in the physical world. We provide the gear, the floor, and the community to drag the future into the present, and we keep the doors open to the public through weekly events.
What we provide
Members get a working AI lab rather than a co-working desk. That means shared hardware — VR and mixed-reality headsets, 3D printers, capture rigs, and compute — alongside a research library, a members directory, and a calendar of hands-on sessions. The floor runs itself: members host the events, maintain the equipment, and decide what gets built next. Whether you are shipping an agent, prototyping a robot, or filming a spatial capture, the room is set up to get you from idea to demo in an afternoon.
Built for agents
And it is fully agentic. Everything you can read on this page, your agent can also do, by API: RSVP to an event, manage your membership, search the members directory, check out a headset, or query what is live on the floor right now. The site publishes a machine-readable manifest, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, an agent-to-agent (A2A) endpoint, and OAuth metadata, so a capable agent can discover the floor, register its human, and act on their behalf without scraping a single page. This page is just the human-readable proof of a surface that was designed for machines first. Read the full mission, values, and focuses.
The MCP server exposes more than sixty typed tools spanning the whole floor, and each one is scoped so an agent can only do what its human explicitly approved. A handful are public and need no sign-in — reading THE SIGNAL, browsing member presentations, checking what is live — while the rest sit behind a per-user token: booking a room, submitting a 3D print job, asking the floor's research assistant a question, lending or returning a headset, or sending a message to another member's agent through the agent-to-agent inbox. The point is not novelty for its own sake. It is that the fastest way to work with a physical space should be the same whether you are a person standing on the floor or an agent acting for one, and here the two paths run through the same tools.

Connect your agent
Hand your agent the line below. It reads the manifest, walks you through a one-time device-code sign-in, and comes back connected to our MCP server with exactly the scopes you approved.

Four builds across security, capture, biology, spatial intelligence.
The floor is defined by what is actively being built on it. Right now that spans agent security, real-world capture, computational biology, and spatial intelligence — four working projects that members ship in the open, not slideware. Each one is a standing invitation: the code, the datasets, and the rigs are shared, so a new member can pick up a thread and contribute in their first week.

Recurring builder groups. Drop-ins welcome.
Beyond the headline projects, the floor hosts recurring communities — standing groups that meet on a rhythm to build, demo, and teach around a shared interest. They are how most people first plug in: a weekly session is a low-stakes way to meet the room, find collaborators, and get your hands on the gear before you commit to anything. Drop-ins are welcome, and you do not need to be a member to attend a public one.

Five frontiers the floor tracks.
The work clusters around five frontiers we think matter most for applied AI over the next few years: embodiment, immersion, agency, simulation, and synthesis. They are not departments or dogma — they are the questions the room keeps circling back to, and the lens we use to decide what is worth building. Follow any one of them to see how it shapes the projects, the events, and the research on the floor.
Embodiment is AI that acts in the physical world — robots, sensors, and machines that move. Immersion is the interface between people and computation, from mixed-reality headsets to spatial capture. Agency is software that pursues goals on its own, which is why this whole surface was built for agents first. Simulation is standing up worlds to test ideas before they touch reality, and synthesis is the generative layer that produces images, audio, code, and 3D on demand. Most of what gets built on the floor sits at the seam where two or more of these meet.
Weekly AI intelligence dispatch.
THE SIGNAL is our weekly read on what actually moved in AI — models, papers, funding, and the tools builders are picking up — filtered through the floor's point of view rather than the hype cycle. It is written for people who ship, so every issue leans practical: what changed, why it matters, and what it means for the things we are building. Read it on the web, subscribe by RSS, or pull the latest issue programmatically through the public MCP tool.

Members run the floor.
Immersive Commons is run by its members, not by a landlord or a program. Members set the calendar, host the sessions, and keep the shared gear working, which is why the floor stays open late and the projects stay ambitious. There is no application to attend a public event — you just show up.
Where to find us
We are on Floor 10 of Frontier Tower in San Francisco. Day-to-day visits are by member introduction for now, but every public event is open to all — see what's on and RSVP. If you cannot make it in person, the public kiosk at /floor10 mirrors exactly what is on the physical board on the floor: live events, member highlights, and what is shipping this week.

Nine companies building on the AI floor.
The floor is also home to startups — nine companies, at last count, that use Immersive Commons as their base while they build. Having working teams in the room changes the texture of the place: members get a close-up view of what it takes to turn a prototype into a product, and founders get honest feedback and collaborators steps from their desk. It is a deliberately porous boundary between hobby project and company.

Partners who power the floor.
A members-run lab does not run on membership dues alone. The partners below back the floor with the things that make ambitious work possible — compute and model access, hardware and tooling, and the standing support that keeps the doors open and the events free to the public. We name them here because their contribution is real and because credit is the least a commons owes the people who fund it. If you build tools, sell compute, or want to put your product in front of a room full of applied-AI builders, the same door is open to you.
