Visionary VR, a stealth virtual reality startup which announced a $6 million fundraise back in March, will give the first glimpse of their VR storytelling application at VRLA.
VRLA Summer Expo 2016 is fast approaching. Among a packed list of exhibitors, keynote speaker Reggie Watts, and even a ‘VR Rave’, the show will be the first opportunity to see Visionary VR’s “app for creating stories in VR” in action.
Founded by VRLA co-founders Jonnie Ross, Adam Levin, and Cosmo Scharf alongside Gil Baron and Luke Patterson, Visionary VR announced back in March they had raised $6 million to build their vision. Beyond that though, the company has remained rather stealthy, hinting only that the product would offer a way to easily make and tell stories in virtual reality.
Way back at the beginning of 2015, before Visionary VR went dark, we spoke with co-founders Jonnie Ross and Gil Baron who, at the time, explained how the company was attempting to form the language for VR storytelling in VR, by offering a way to prevent viewers from missing important parts of the narrative.
Since then, it seems the company may have pivoted into something different, possibly relating to some of the in-VR animation, filming, and editing tools they had spoken of previously.
Whatever they’re working on, they’ll be revealing it at VRLA Summer Expo 2016 during a presentation on the first day of the event, August 5th. You can still save 15% off of the Pro Pass ticket to the event with discount code”RoadtoVRLovesVRLA”.
