Hi, I’m Nix Liu Xin — Founder, building 01.SPACE, an AI-native platform for creating interactive 3D worlds right in the browser.
Before that, a decade of films, installations, and brand worlds — including founding Play.Work — where the real and the virtual keep trading places.
AI Creative HarnessAI Creative Harness
AI put in harness — generative models and agents working as everyday instruments, from film frames to whole worlds.
Volumetric MediaVolumetric Media
Reality captured in volume — Gaussian splats, scans, and point clouds that carry places, people, and performances into 3D.
Fluid SculpturesFluid Sculptures
Form in motion — fluid geometries, simulated materials, and sculptural movement rendered at the edge of the physical and the digital.
Responsive EnvironmentsResponsive Environments
Spaces that listen and react — installations and environments where architecture, bodies, and data respond to one another in real time.
Spatial InterfacesSpatial Interfaces
The interface leaves the screen — light, projection, and real-time 3D that turn rooms and objects into things you operate.
ThinksThinks
Long-form notes on the craft — process write-ups, tools, and the ideas behind the work. Deep dives over hot takes.
R&DR&D
Tools, experiments, and speculative tech from the lab.
InspirationsInspirations
Other people’s work, kept close. Films for how they frame a moment, books for how they think, records for how they hold a room — the reference shelf behind the work.

2026 — Today
Founder and CEO
Creators build interactive 3D with AI, right in the browser. Creative capabilities become blocks, and an agent assembles them into a workflow you can see, change, and reuse. Backed by MiraclePlus (Y Combinator China).
2020 — Today
Founder and Creative Director
Visualizing futures, fictional and real, through AI workflows, worldmaking, spatial computing, and new forms of storytelling — with artists, engineers, coders, researchers, and ambitious brands. The studio path behind much of the work in Makes.
2022 — Today
Co-Founder
Bringing the XR community together to connect, share, and learn.
