In 2018 we had six degrees of freedom (6DoF) VR working on a standard smartphone.

What Is 6DoF?

Your body is free to move forward/ backwards, up/down, left/ right combined with rotation about three perpendicular axes, often termed pitch, yaw, and roll.

What’s New?

In 2018, most mobile VR only let you look around (360-degrees) from a fixed point. Our 6DoF software let someone walk around in VR like the high-end headsets of the time, and view an item as they would in reality — all on a smartphone.

 

 

 

Why?

Brands have wanted to engage customers with a high-quality VR experience, but consumer access to required hardware is limited (content distribution). 

To bridge that gap, in 2018 we created software that used a smartphone and its camera to deliver a high-quality immersive VR experience.

What Can This Do For A Brand?

Two early use-cases we explored in 2018 are below — clothing and cars at 1:1 scale. For what we build for brands and agencies today, see the box at the bottom of this page, or book a free 20-minute call.

 

 

 

Goal.

To showcase clothes at a 1-1 scale for a user to look around, as well get inspired like you would in a shop.

Potential

A 1:1 walk-around of garments on a phone — useful for remote try-before-you-buy concepts in 2018.

 

 

Goal.

To showcase a car at a 1-1 scale for a user to look around.

Potential.

A 1:1 walk-around of a vehicle on a phone — the same mobile 6DoF approach, applied to automotive.

 

What we build now

This page is our 2018 mobile 6DoF R&D. Today we build VR training, construction VR, heritage AR, and XR consultancy for agencies and in-house teams.
