Easy

Build embeds fast

Simple embed codes to create a vrEmbed from any image - these can be chained together to make entire VR stories!

At least 10% of the population can't use VR headsets or see 3D - vrEmbed won't leave these users behind.

Free

Open Source

vrEmbed is open source!

Who is vrEmbed for?

  • Artists and storytellers who want to experiment with narratives in VR.
  • Photographers who want to add a sense of immersion to their existing photos.
  • Folks with 3D-stereo images who need an up-to-date medium to showcase their work.
  • Academics and researchers who want an easy, extensible platform to experiment with storytelling and interaction techniques in VR.

Open-source goodness

vrEmbed is build using the tiny-but-fast twgl and browserify. These pages are laid out using skeleton.

About Bhautik

I’ve specialized in not specializing and I’ve worked on: broad and deep realtime data analysis at web-scale, developing tools for stereoscopy for feature films, motion capture, virtual reality, previsualization for TV, game development, real-time computing, signal analysis, surgical simulation, medical imaging and one memorable summer neatly folding menswear in chain retail. I have a PhD in and Masters in Biomedical Engineering from the University of New South Wales which I completed in 2006. In my spare time I’m a semi-professional photographer which has led me on all sorts of adventures; I’m also an active advocate for art and the narrative it provides in the local community.
