Vusr Publisher is now being used to power Viveport Video, serving as the core backend infrastructure that allows the service to deliver a user-friendly management system, and consumer experience, for a growing library of experiences in a native VR environment.

• End User Apps – Templated apps facilitate distribution of immersive content across every major VR platform from a central CMS.
• User-friendly CMS – Organizes content and information in an accessible web-based management system so VR publishers can easily upload, organize and publish content to their apps.
• Vusr Preview App – A companion app that allows partners and stakeholders to review both published and draft content, simplifying workflow inefficiencies for VR publishers.
• Advertising and Sponsorship – Monetization options include sponsor logo integration, 2D video advertising and in-app purchasing.

• Patented Technology – Its patented technology lets creators share VR content across all major HMDs through a single application.
• Real-time Interactive Experience – Creators can publish 360° video and real-time rendered experiences into an existing app, without requiring an update.
• Automatic Transcoding – The CMS transcodes a single master video file to a range of resolutions and bit rates in preparation for streaming across multiple platforms.
• Dynamic Adaptive Streaming – Transcoded videos feature multiple quality streams to adapt to variable bandwidth, stitched together by the Vusr player in three-second segments.
• Procedural Rendering – The platform uses custom shader rendering, which removes complex geometry and results in faster and higher quality playback.
• Spatial Audio – Sound is rotated in space as spherical harmonics, and then is rendered to the listener’s ear, giving a full immersive 3D sound experience.
