VR Education Holdings plc
('VR Education' or the 'Group')
Launch of Apollo 11 HD
VR Education (AIM: VRE; ESM: 6VR), a leading virtual reality
('VR') technology company focused on the education space, is
pleased to announce the launch of Apollo 11 HD on HTC Vive, Oculus
Rift and Windows Mixed Reality. The Group anticipates that the
PlayStation VR version will be available in Q2 2019.
The new High Definition ('HD') version builds on the Group's
award-winning Apollo 11 VR showcase experience which was developed
in 2016 and provides users the ability to witness the moon landing
first-hand in virtual reality, from the viewpoint of the US
astronaut Neil Armstrong. As at 31 October 2018, the original
Apollo 11 VR showcase experience had been downloaded circa 145,000
times across all the various sales platforms.
The new HD version is a complete rebuild of all the assets from
the original experience with new models, new textures and new
animations.
David Whelan, CEO of VR Education, said: "The original Apollo 11
VR showcase experience has been a great success, bringing
additional revenue to the Group and also effectively showcasing our
technology in advance of the launch of our ENGAGE platform in
December 2018. Apollo 11 is still in demand across a variety of
platforms and we are confident that this new HD version will
stimulate further interest.
"The original Apollo 11 was built when we had a small team of
three working for the Group. This new version enhances the user
experience greatly as we have had the time and expertise to give
the experience a level of polish not achievable before, due to new
technology and overall talent available at VR Education today. The
coming year represents the 50th anniversary of the moon walk and we
believe Apollo 11 HD will be in high demand throughout the next 12
months and beyond."
