Potential of VR

What exactly is VR

Why does developing a VR app have a lot of potential?

A VR app adds an extra dimension, giving users a completely new brand experience. Many sectors have now discovered the benefits of VR apps. Think of business applications (Business-to-Business VR apps), in education (educational VR apps) or as entertainment value (VR games). More and more companies are having a VR app built.

VR applications for companies:

VR training applications. Think of training employees quickly and efficiently. Both in groups and individually.
As unique marketing material. For example, by giving away free Cardboard VR glasses with a company logo. Employees or customers can use their own smartphone for the VR app. Suitable for own staff, events, fairs.
Inform customers or stakeholders about complex matters in an audiovisual manner. For example with demonstrations or guided tours.
Companies that innovate a lot would do well to make a 360 degree video in combination with Cardboards, for example. Have a promotional video made or give a virtual tour of the building.

This is just a small selection of the possibilities of VR apps. Wondering if your VR concept lends itself well to VR applications? We are happy to speak to you without obligation.

VR apps today

The technology behind VR apps has improved a lot in recent years. This has ensured that the images and sound have not only become a lot more realistic, but also that the adoption of VR apps is happening on a larger scale by companies. It seems that new VR glasses appear on the market every day, and you no longer have to pay the top price for Virtual Reality technology. In 2014, Google launched the Google Cardboard, a simple (and cheap) holder that turns any mobile phone into VR glasses. Have the Cardboard VR glasses printed so that you can effectively reach multiple target groups, from marketing stunts to staff training.

What is Virtual Reality?

Virtual reality is a technology that allows a user to enter a virtual world through VR glasses. VR is therefore also referred to as virtual reality or false reality. Often virtual reality is visual and auditory. Nowadays smell and touch can be added for extra experience.

VR glasses show two different images to each eye. This gives the user the illusion of a 3D image. The glasses register the user's head movements and adjust the new images accordingly. VR uses 360 degree images. This creates a 3D world in which the user can look around freely and it seems as if the user is actually in the virtual world.

How does a VR app work?

We can develop VR apps for Android smartphones en iPhone. This means that there is a great potential range for a VR app. In addition, users do not need to purchase additional hardware to use the VR technology. How does this work?

A VR app works on the basis of sensors in the hardware. There are different VR glasses, such as the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Playstation VR. This can be done with or without a wire and as a PC accessory or as a standalone. All models have a gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer integrated in the glasses. These sensors are also found in most smartphones. A VR experience is created by attaching the mobile device to glasses. The most famous VR glasses are the Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR. We can develop a VR app that is compatible with all models.

VR games

Games are ideally suited for virtual reality. The innovative way of controlling provides a completely new gameplay. Most VR glasses can be connected to a remote control via Bluetooth. This allows an extra dimension to be added by requiring users to perform certain actions.

360 degree photos and videos

Watching sports matches remotely, a museum tour from your home, theater performances, concerts or films. 360 degree videos have a number of implementations. Live events can be experienced in real time through virtual reality live streaming.

Virtual reality experience

VR is a very suitable technique for creating an experience. The endless marketing applications ensure that a brand, product or service is experienced (and remembered!) in an innovative and distinctive way. A major advantage is that users do not have to be present at a physical location.

The pros and cons of VR apps:
