Create interactive 360°/VR quickly and easily using eevo’s Composer, an online toolset that makes it simple to build the interactive, nonlinear 360° experiences we call branching narratives, or “choose your own adventure” stories. The Composer requires no coding, simply upload 360° video and audio assets and add interactive elements with ease, creating new interactive experiences in minutes instead of days. The Composer allows you to make your 360° videos as interactive as you like, adding and editing hotspots and linking them to other 360° videos. Link hotspots to other 360° videos and, coming soon, to images or 2D video pop-ups as well. Use hotspots to restart, seek, or jump to other 360 videos. Set hotspots to be either visible or invisible to the end-user. Preview what hotspots will look like and where they will appear in the scene. Manage multiple hotspots in a 360 video at the same time.

We use VR to improve engagement in classroom and provide quality education. We also integrate VR into Global Citizenship Education to promote peace and non-violence, inclusivity and diversity in human cultures. We're supported by UNICEF Innovation. We introduced VR to teachers and asked teachers about what they thought of VR and how RemixVR can help them in classrooms. They were really excited to use VR in classrooms. Using RemixVR's lesson creator, you can create a new AR lesson in few minutes. You create a new lesson by selecting type of content you want and filling the fields like a form. It's really easy to learn and use. Educators have been using our AR lessons in their classrooms and getting amazing engagement. Don't take our word for it. Some educators have taken it to Twitter to show much much they love our lessons.

The Unity XR SDK is aimed at specialist users who want to develop their own XR providers that work with Unity. To download XR SDK, you must sign up for access on this page. The XR SDK package allows multiple backends (called “providers”) to implement a single engine feature (called a “subsystem”) in Unity. User applications can select and activate providers at runtime. A subsystem descriptor is metadata about a subsystem which can be inspected before loading or initializing a subsystem. This comes from a manifest file and is accessed via a C# interface. A Create method activates the subsystem and provides an instance of it to the user’s scripts.

The main feature of ApertusVR is the so called "Distributed Plugin-in Mechanism" which means that not only humans could be involved in an multi-user virtual reality scene but any element of the Internet of Things like hardware, software, robot or any kind of smart device. ApertusVR is a set of plugins that extend ApertusCore with XR (AR/VR/MR) capabilities, which help to integrate XR technologies into new/existing developments, products rapidly. It creates a new abstraction layer over the hardware vendors in order to use different display and control devices in any product or service. As the creators of ApertusVR, our knowledge and experience give you the best feedback on potentional XR implementations to your business.

Make 3D worlds with HTML and entity-component for Quest, Rift, WMR, SteamVR, mobile, desktop. A-Frame can be developed from a plain HTML file without having to install anything. A great way to try out A-Frame is to remix the starter example on Glitch, an online code editor that instantly hosts and deploys for free. A-Frame is a web framework for building virtual reality (VR) experiences. A-Frame is based on top of HTML, making it simple to get started. But A-Frame is not just a 3D scene graph or a markup language; the core is a powerful entity-component framework that provides a declarative, extensible, and composable structure to three.js. Originally conceived within Mozilla and now maintained by the co-creators of A-Frame within Supermedium, A-Frame was developed to be an easy yet powerful way to develop VR content. As an independent open source project, A-Frame has grown to be one of the largest VR communities.
