QPORIT's VAMP:ire XRG >> PRODUCTIONS FOR VR / AR / MR
VAMP:ire XRG
QPORIT’S new XR PRODUCTION GROUP
Almost
magical advances in the last few years, expanding dramatically in the last
few months, and even in the last few days! makes it possible now to view 3D and full spherical panoramic videos
(VR videos) comfortably and enjoyably on YouTube as well as on many other VR
platforms.
Moreover,
YouTube VR videos are not only accessible to VR viewers, the same videos can be
viewed as standard YouTube videos by everyone. For the first time, distributing
3D and panoramic videos is available to all creators and accessible to all
viewers: that is, everyone!
Beyond YouTubeVR, there are many other systems becoming available this year for all kinds of interactive entertainment, educational, scientific and marketing applications.
We are
planning to create an eXtended Reality (XR) video production company.
eXtended
Reality ( XR ) includes...
·
Virtual Reality (VR) -- Facebook Oculus Rift, Gear VR, Google Cardboard,
etc;
·
Augmented Reality (AR) -- Google Glass II and more;
·
Mixed Reality (MR) -- notably Microsoft Hololens
and Magic Leap.
·
And other realities!
Our working
(possibly?; maybe, maybe not, permanent) name is:
“QPORIT’s VAMP:ire Group”.
QPORIT and VAMP:ire are both acronyms:
QPORIT
Quick Previews Of Random Interesting Things
VAMP:ire
Virtual Augmented & Mixed Productions:
interactive
reality entertainment
Note: Vampires draw blood and are long lived,
both good qualities for a video production group!

We have
several projects in process -- beginning with extending our current coverage of
film, theater, new tech (especially XR) and other Interesting Things with much
more coverage using YouTube VR, Oculus Rift, Gear VR, HoloLens and other XR platforms!

We have also
started working on the development of some major XR & transmedia content
projects including a fictional XR dramatic series; the remembrance of the 400th anniversary
of Shakespeare’s death; an immersive modern adaptation of an edgy, seductive, political, 2500 year old masterpiece, for LIVE performance and filming as a 3D 360 Virtual Reality Feature; and a BIG XR
TRANSMEDIA SCIENCE PROJECT: a live theatrical and eXtended Reality project with
the style and pizazz of a Broadway Show -- the best science-technology-convention-conference-documentary
ever!
We will also
create 3D & panoramic commercial projects for stand-alone presentation in all
XR formats, including Oculus Rift, Gear VR, Cardboard, other mobile platforms,
and Microsoft HoloLens, and ads for insertion in YouTube VR videos.

love to hear from anyone
