At Wevr, we see the world through a lens of infinite possibilities. As we continue to push the boundaries of creative storytelling, hardware platforms, and shared experiences, we find ourselves at the forefront of a new evolution in entertainment, shaping the future of interactive content and immersive experiences.

Our recent partnership with HTC VIVE to create and co-produce a new slate of immersive location-based experiences is a testament to our leadership in the space. These experiences, set to debut on the just-released VIVE Focus Vision XR headset, represent the convergence of technology, creativity and storytelling in ways that were once thought impossible.

This upcoming slate of immersive experiences, range from educational documentaries to action-packed adventures and family entertainment, showcasing our expertise in balancing narrative and agency. We're not just telling stories; we're inviting our audience to live them.

The rerelease of our award-winning "The Blu Whale Encounter" as a pre-loaded experience on the new VIVE Focus Vision headset marks our 10-year anniversary of the original launch of The Blu celebrating our commitment to the medium over the last decade. Ten years ago when The Blu burst onto the scene as the groundbreaking first VR hit, it set a new standard for immersive experiences. Its inclusion on the new HTC headset is not just a nod to its historical significance, but a testament to its enduring appeal and relevance. Since then we've continuously refined our craft, pushing the limits of what's possible in immersive storytelling, as seen in the Harry Potter location based VR experience, delivering a level of immersive fidelity never seen before.

Today more than ever we believe that interactive content is becoming the dominant art form in the entertainment industry, and Wevr is at the heart of this transformation. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies like the HTC VIVE hardware we're building special creative experiences that engage users in ways traditional entertainment products simply cannot.

A crucial tool in our creative arsenal is Epic Games' Unreal Engine. We're using this powerful game engine to create several projects, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in interactive storytelling. For creators in our field, understanding and mastering Unreal Engine has become increasingly important. It's not just a tool; it's a gateway to bringing imagination to life in ways that were once unthinkable. The engine's capabilities in real-time rendering, physics simulation, and scripting allow us to craft rich and responsive characters and incredibly detailed environments, enhancing the immersion of our experiences.

Imagine stepping into a world with your friends where the boundaries between reality and fiction blur, where you're not just a passive viewer but an active participant in the story. That's the kind of experience we're creating at Wevr. Whether it's out-of-home adventures or in-home immersive journeys, we're crafting shared experiences that are both fun and profoundly engaging.

As we embark on this new chapter with HTC VIVE, we're excited about the potential of groundbreaking group/multiplayer experience technologies that we're developing in collaboration with HTC VIVE. These shared immersive experiences will redefine social entertainment on a global scale both location-based and online, and we couldn’t be more excited about the future of immersive entertainment. 

We invite you to join us on this journey as we continue to explore, innovate, and create experiences that will captivate, educate, and inspire audiences around the world. The future of storytelling is here, and it's more immersive, more interactive, and more exciting than ever before. At Wevr, we're not just witnessing this revolution – we're leading it. Stay tuned for what's next. The best is yet to come.
