In the past 30 days, Arkave VR was booked at 8 events, creating a substantial source of revenue for the division. The Company is expanding this business model in North America through partnerships and creating a dedicated team in Brazil to support this increased demand for the product.
The Company recently made its first appearance at the largest event in the world for Theme Parks and Family Entertainment Centers. The event takes place in Orlando every year, with editions in Europe and China as well. Thousands of companies that supply services and products for the out of home entertainment industry were present. Virtual Reality had a strong role at the event this year, allowing Arkave VR to be measured against the best experiences available in the VR market.
The product was met with incredible enthusiasm and is being considered by several experienced operators. It was considered the most innovative VR solution with the best quality and available at a price range that is affordable.
The Company recently unveiled its latest version of Arkave VR, which no longer requires a backpack. Through a partnership with HTC and Intel, YDreams was the first to bring a full body, free roam VR experience without the use of backpacks or wires.
"Upgrading Arkave VR so it doesn?t require backpacks may seem insignificant but it's a crucial feature for Family Entertainment Centers and Theme Parks Operators. It greatly increases the throughput of each Arena, allowing more players per hour and thus increasing margins for the operator." - Stated Francisco Chaves, Head of Arkave. "Being the first company to accomplish this puts Arkave VR as a top contender for being the main option for FECs".
About the event, Daniel Japiassu, CEO of YDreams Global stated: "This is by far the most important event for Arkave VR in terms of promotion. We are already planning to come back with a stronger presence next year. The number of requests and quotes from serious buyers looking for VR solutions was incredible and will only increase in years to come. We hope to close deals fast, some clients want to open Arenas before Christmas! Operators are eager to bring new technologies to their venues and Arkave VR is the full package".
The event was also the first after signing a distribution agreement with Studio 41b and Dynamic Design. The companies work together and have an impressive list of clients like Walt Disney World and Legoland.
