Making Modern Virtual Reality Tech More Accessible to All

The problem DeskVR solves

The high cost and complexity of modern VR and AR technologies limit widespread adoption. Existing solutions require expensive hardware and are cumbersome to set up, restricting accessibility and integration into daily life. A more accessible alternative is urgently needed. DeskVR addresses this challenge by leveraging existing desktop computers, reducing costs and complexity. With seamless smartphone integration and accessibility from anywhere with an internet connection, DeskVR aims to democratize VR and AR, making immersive experiences accessible to all.

Challenges we ran into

  • Generating a dynamic and immersive 3D environment posed challenges in terms of efficient rendering and optimization to ensure smooth performance across various hardware configurations.
  • Integrating the functionality to display websites within the 3D environment required overcoming technical complexities such as rendering HTML content and ensuring compatibility with different web technologies.
  • Implementing the PC integration connection module for creating a secondary display within the virtual environment involved developing a secure and reliable method for transmitting desktop content while ensuring compatibility with different operating systems and hardware configurations.
  • Enabling WebSocket communication on smartphones presented challenges in optimizing network performance and ensuring seamless connectivity between the smartphone and the DeskVR platform.
  • Managing the synchronization of data and interactions between the smartphone and the virtual environment added another layer of complexity to the development process, requiring thorough testing and innovative problem-solving.
