Virtual Reality is a computer-generated interactive simulated immersive environment that creates experiences that are usually based on fantasy. VR experiences are usually experiences that aren’t available in physical reality, although some experiences are based on the real world.
The most common form of VR technology is VR headsets such as the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive. The immersive “VR Worlds” allow the user to interact with virtual features, characters, and items. This emerging technology also allows for the experiencing of sensations though controllers
Augmented Reality is where virtual elements are used to enhance real-world experiences. These VR elements are in essence overlaid on real-world scenario’s and viewed via a piece of technology such as a headset or smartphone to name a couple.
AR has really emerged as an important piece of technology in recent years and more and more applications for it are been discovered and implemented. Google Glass was an early example of a device using AR technology. AR is currently making great strides in various sectors such as; medical, aviation, gaming and the military. Its potential, like VR, seems to only be limited by the hardware…but this is evolving at exponential speeds.
Mobius have specialist developers who build augmented and virtual reality software for our clients around the world. We are always looking to push the boundaries of emerging technologies and create new and unique applications in VR and AR.
We built one of the first apps for the Google Glass which was an augmented reality history tour of London. This was in conjunction with Google and the History channel. The app guided you around a preset tour of ancient ruins and overlaid what it would have looked like hundreds of years ago over the existing site. It was accompanied by audio descriptions and activated via beacon points with a GPS guidance to the next point also built in.
We have built various AR and VR projects and are more than happy to discuss any idea’s you may have no matter how crazy you may think they sound.
We hold various accreditations and can build in most platforms and languages. We pride ourselves in our huge and varied skill set and welcome any challenging projects.
We have one of the largest device testing labs in the UK with over 70 handsets, tablets and PC’s to enable testing across almost all devices, operating systems, and browsers.
We also build Virtual and Augmented reality software using the latest VR headsets to play with this emerging technology, and harness its power for the business world by creating innovative solutions for the most forward-thinking businesses.
