That sounds awesome! I don't have a VR rig set up and am looking to build a PC and have some spec I can share. How do you hook up VR peripheral with the cloud?



The idea is that the VR hardware would have a companion software, and that this software can be run on the could-computer (where all the heavy lifting is done) and displayed through a browser on the basic device that you already have.

So in your case - instead of personally fronting the costs for a whole lot of VR ready hardware, you can just pay for a powerful virtual computer (with as much Ram and GPU power as you want for your task).

Connecting your own assets/files to the cloud-computer can be done via cloud storage services like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.


- in any case, I'd love to hear more about how you would potentially use this type of product - as designer for VR users is one of our top priorities.
