HelloVR and Improbable have partnered to create a new social virtual reality experience dubbed MetaWorld. It’s like a complete virtual world — inside virtual reality — where you can interact with a huge number of friends across a massive animated world.
Dedric Reid, CEO of HelloVR.
Richmond, Calif.-based HelloVR is the brainchild of founder and CEO Dedric Reid, who will be speaking about user-generated VR at our GamesBeat 2016 conference. Reid and his team of three people have created a VR world that lots of people can share. It sits on top of the massive computing engine, called SpatialOS, created by Improbable, a London-based company backed by Andreessen Horowitz.
