Viveport Gets VR Demos

Viveport has announced the early release of the Viveport Scene SDK, a new toolset that will help developers create immersive VR previews. The Viveport Scene SDK will allow developers to engage customers with their content before purchase or rental, by generating:

  • VR Previews: Rich and interactive 3D environments streamed dynamically to the viewer on Viveport to increase engagement and customer conversion
  • VR Skyboxes: Immersive 360-preview images that surround the user as they browse the content grid in the Viveport store

Drew Bamford, Corporate Vice President of HTC Vive’s Creative Labs said, “Our research has shown that customers vastly prefer VR previews over screenshots and videos to inform their purchasing decision. We are thrilled that the Viveport Scene SDK will provide developers with a new avenue for discoverability and engagement on the Viveport store.”
