Verizon is looking to create new education and training applications that utilize 5G and mobile edge compute for immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences in a partnership with Dreamscape.
Los Angeles-based Dreamscape Immersive delivers VR “adventures” in four locations around the world. Each promise to transport visitors – as active participants – into a unique and complex VR experience like a wildlife refuge in space, or reuniting a family of whales in the deep sea.
Its platform mixes cinematic storytelling and technology including proprietary full-body tracking for untethered VR, with the former head of Dreamworks Motion Pictures Walter Parkes and Disney Imagineering alum Bruce Vaughn among Dreamscape founders.
