Jaunt has announced its new XR Platform, a distribution solution available to media companies, brands, content aggregators and enterprise customers, designed to help them deliver immersive virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality content directly to audiences through their owned and operated channels.
Along with the debut of the platform, Medical Realities, the company behind the world’s first live 360° operation on a cancer patient at the Royal London Hospital, has adopted Jaunt’s technology in the reinvention of its surgical training app. vTime, a VR social network, is also working with Jaunt’s XR Platform to develop co-watching experiences within immersive video.
The XR Platform allows customers to publish immersive content across social platforms including Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, iOS and Android mobile apps, and all VR platforms. It also includes an end-to-end media manager purpose-built for immersive content and a publishing solution that supports 28 languages.
Jaunt also just released its first six-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) mixed-reality experience, Free the Night, in partnership with Microsoft for Windows Mixed Reality, won its first Emmy Award for the documentary film Collisions, directed by Lynette Wallworth. Jaunt Studios has produced more than 300 pieces of immersive content. The Jaunt XR Platform is available now and will be one of the company’s showcase pieces at CES 2018.
