What’s next for Wonda VR?!
Back in June 2016, our small team was steeped in experience with interactive media production and had grand visions to transfer our expertise into the VR revolution. Hence, we launched Wonda VR Studio with the goal of easing the creation of high quality, interactive immersive content in order to harness the capacity of virtual reality to express ideas and share knowledge.
We let its potential take its course and what has resulted is a global community of more than 8,000 content creators in 110 countries. We have organised 15 amazing hackathons in 15 different cities around the world, and we are very proud that over 100 companies and universities created nearly 2,500 experiences since we started.
From the hard work put in by our team, to the support and trust that everyone has shown us in these rapid 2 years, we have received a huge amount of recognition for our innovative solution. We were selected into a residency at MIT Playlabs, the accelerator program at NYU StartED and even became finalist in the XR Education Challenge and Reimagine Education event in Los Angeles!
For this we want to say:
Now more than ever, we want to continue serving the needs of our strong community, and meet the needs of many others. As we move into our third year, we’ve been reflecting on our core values that have supported our vision in making immersive learning a reality for everyone:
Collaboration, community, creativity, inclusion, and innovation
From working with Pearson in bringing VR to over one million learners, to partnering with Unfold Stories to demonstrate the complexities of responding to a humanitarian crisis, we believe the VR ecosystem is only as diverse as those are in it. Thus we continue to invite creators, educators, learners, and companies to reimagine the possibilities with us.
We are proud to introduce Wonda VR Spaces, a social learning VR platform that engages everyone to create and share immersive learning content with the ability to mix 360° content with 3D objects, collaborative cloud-based project creation, and conduct live virtual sessions directly into the VR experience!
We are currently in beta testing and plan to have public release by March 2019! If you are interested in helping us improve our new product to reach its best potential, please let us know here!
