VR Arcades

Large scale, Free-Roam, Multi-player Virtual Reality Arcade game.

VR Arcades

Through use of inside out tracking we were able to achieve a warehouse scale experience and were one of the first in the world to commercially release an experience on this platform. Along with the game itself we developed an on-boarding system called VRAP (Virtual Reality Arena Platform) which allowed users to sign up with accounts which persisted between sessions for easy access when playing again at any venue.

This experience was released through Playtime Haymarket in partnership with TEEG who recently acquired Timezone. It recently completed its trial period which saw 2776 games completed, 477,778 zombie kills and 1,445,705 metres collectively walked in only 4 months.

Location Based Entertainment
Simosity

After 2 years in development, we are proud to have released our first large-scale, free-roam, multi-player Virtual Reality game!

Red Cartel partnered with Simosity to create Epidemic, a zombie infested VR haunted house where you and up to 5 friends attempt to save a little girl before the bombs go off. This 25 minute experience involves jump scares, puzzles, easter eggs and waves of zombies of all shapes and sizes.

Property Visualisation

Photo-realistic VR Property Visualisation

Property Visualisation

Inspired by the Metricon properties we developed an ultra-realistic property visualization application that allows multiple people to experience a property together in real time. Users can be in the same room together or on opposite sides of the globe and can see each other inside the property (represented as avatars).

Customers can collaborate together to customize flooring, finishes, colours etc. This could be a family sharing the experience or a sales person collaborating with a potential buyer in another country

Virtual reality
Property Visualisation

We identified a lack of ultra high quality Virtual Reality experiences for the property visualization sector and set out to push the boundaries of what is possible to achieve with fully immersive room scale VR.

Our goal was to break through the noise of simple 360 photos/videos and static stereoscopic imagery and produce a world-class property visualization that would allow multiple users to walk through a property together, unconstrained by hotspots and fixed viewing locations.
