Company Description

Startup that brings walking-in-place locomotion to VR platforms.

With over 2 billion smartphones in the world, mobile VR has the most potential to bring VR to the masses. Unfortunately, its current input options are limited; which limits building the rich & immersive VR experiences that can be found on high-end VR platforms. Real walking input -as enabled using positional tracking- is considered most immersive for VR navigation and least likely to cause cybersickness, but this is not available on mobile VR platforms. Walking-in-place (WIP) closely approximates real walking and offers the same benefits. Our startup sells a WIP plugin for the Unity Engine called VR-step (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/60450) that lets you navigate VR using your feet and lets you build rich interactive VR experiences on mobile VR.
