Re: [MCN-L] VR Vendors

[Robin White Owen]

Hi Shyam,

We here at Mediacombo are VR producers and eager to work with museums 
interested in this medium. We have been producing audio, video and interactive 
media for museums for several years. Here’s a link to a current 
project:http://www.mediacombo.net/portfolio_page/extreme-water/. I’d be happy 
to see how we can help you!

Best,

Robin

Hi Shyam, 

I don't know how extensive you want your VR experience to be, but I highly
recommend xRez Studio  http://www.xrez.com/ 

I know they've done a project with the Smithsonian, and with several
cultural heritage sites. I'm very impressed with their work.

Best,
Linda

Re: [MCN-L] VR vendors?

[Nik Honeysett]

We partner with GURU here in Balboa Park on a number of projects - a wayfinding 
park-wide app with some points-of-interest AR experiences overlaying historic 
photos of key buildings and gardens, and the San Diego Museum of Art’s App with 
a couple of awesome AR experiences - the "Open Jaw of Awe" came out of the 
responses we got on those. The SDMA App and others are available for download.

Their VR pilots are excellent which they’ve demo’ed at various conferences. 
They have a Step into the Painting concept which literally does what its says, 
and when you turn around to look out at the world from within the painting, the 
world is rendered in the style of the painting you’re in. Has to be 
experienced, er… which is the whole point. They’ll be in Pittsburgh.

(Full disclosure, I’m on GURU's board)

Re: [MCN-L] VR vendors?

[Richard Scott]

I will give a plus 1 for GuidiGO and Google Tango. We have had a great 
experience with them and are releasing another phase of our project with them 
later this year. The visitor feedback from the tour that we are offering has 
been outstanding.

Re: [MCN-L] VR vendors?

[Sweeting III, Floyd]

GURU http://theguru.co/ is an interesting one. We're not ready for VR or AR yet 
here but I like to keep up with the possibilities, I met the Guru people at a 
conference and like them.

Another one which I think has s lot of potential is Histovery 
http://www.histovery.com/en/  who have done AR in French castles and museums.  
They did a demo here for us but our curatorial staff are not ready for VR or AR 
yet.

Both worth a look and maybe a meeting to discuss possibilities.

Best,
Floyd

Hi Shyam,

We're launching an AR project this fall, partnering with Google (using
Tango platform) and GuidiGO. Happy to chat about it if you're interested:
