Will the legacy of today's XR technology will be known for improving humanity or destroying it?

On November 15th, our CEO Jeff Rayner will deliver a presentation of whether the legacy of today's XR technology will be known for improving humanity or destroying it! We believe the new immersive approaches that XR brings, will shift escape, education, training, rehab and assessments towards personal experiences that are too often dangerous, unpractical, and sometimes even impossible to do via any other means. Jeff will discuss how this new approach will improve knowledge r

DOES VR NEED ANOTHER CLIMBING GAME?

The feel of your hand wedged in between a crevice as you hang from a rock face in a desert canyon thousands of miles from the safety of your own home is a tough feeling to recreate. For many, however, the encounter from the safety of their living room that brings in the elements of climbing in nature is just fine for a valuable and exciting experience. MXTreality is excited to be releasing Adventure Climb VR on Steam, the worlds largest video game distribution platform. Adven

Halloween Maze VR Game now available!

Two years ago we were very excited to put our first game up on the App Store. MazeWalk VR was something we had so much fun making, and have been ecstatic to see people enjoying it since then. As one of the first results on The App Store for VR searches, now rated by 500 users, and having been downloaded over 2 Million Times, suffice it to say, we consider it a marked success. Now, with 500 mostly highly positive ratings, we were left asking ourselves "What do we do for an enc

Water, Water, Every VR where!

We've built several games that involve water in VR and we've come to the conclusion that it's hard, really hard, to get it looking right - mainly because water is just so graphically intensive. However, we think our latest solution comes close to nailing it - it's still a work in progress, yet take a look and tell us what you think. #vr #oculus #vive #virtualreality #wip
