Prototyping
Immerse yourself.... There are a vast range of HMD's available on the market today, we will advise you of the best solution to suit your project and budget requirements. We have over two decades of experience in the VR market delivering systems across the globe.
Intuitive control.... Want to get hands-on experience? VR Gloves will let you do just that. Moving virtual objects or simply interacting with a virtual interface can be an amazing experience. We have integrated both passive and haptic glove systems into our promotional & simulation applications.
Explore further.... There are many types of tracking technology available today from small integrated systems to larger stand-alone platforms. From 3dof to 6dof and magnetic to optical the options are mind-blowing. The correct selection of tracking system is critical to any VR project development succeeding.
Tailored for you.... Where possible we employ COTS hardware. However, no single 'off-the-shelf' VR solution exists that can satisfy 'all' a client's possible requirements. If we can’t find it, but a project needs it, we have the experience and expertise to develop and produce it.
