OnQue is actively engaged in the rise of V.R as the next explosive growth market. In the last few years we’ve followed the progress of interesting prototypes and large-scale investment in VR from tech giants like Google and Microsoft. A recent report by digital M&A firm Digi-Capital has now predicted that the combined AR (augmented reality) and VR industries could be worth $150 billion by 2020.

Samsung, an active client of OnQue, is keeping on trend having recently released its own V.R product, Samsung Gear V.R. Leveraging the Samsung GALAXY Note 4 to build mobile V.R experiences, all that’s required is to place the phone into an Oculus Rift style headset and away you go… 

The most recent promotional campaign for the V.R headset saw Samsung capture the first birth to be filmed in virtual reality. The event was live-streamed across Australia so the newborn’s Father could experience it all in real-time. Featured in the video is Father-To-Be, Jason Larke who works as an electrical engineer, supporting his family by taking up “fly in, fly out” contracts that leave him away from home frequently.   

Samsung captured the delivery room from all angles with a unique camera filming Jason’s wife, Alison Larke give birth to their third son while Jason looked on from 2,500 miles away in real-time. The Samsung Gear V.R headset allowed Jason to look up, down and all around the room.         

Expect exciting news on the horizon from OnQue as we continue our exploration into the VR space.
