01–03

Design

2 lines

Systems, art and interface, agreed before you build.

Web 3.0

The future of the internet, known as Web 3.0, is going to have VR, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, which will make browsing more fun and efficient. This new technology will understand what you need and give you a more personalized experience.

Unreal Engine

If you want to make a stunning VR experience for showcasing your product, Unreal Engine is the ideal solution. It offers numerous free templates and samples, as well as an extensive asset library, making it easy to get started.

What you get

A design system, art direction and every screen the build needs.

04–06

Build

2 lines

Virtual Reality (VR) code, the server behind it, and device testing.

Unity

Whether you’re just starting out or already a pro, Unity is a fantastic platform to create VR content. It’s easy to use with its visual scripting, making it simple to build 3D environments and add interactive elements like audio, video, and animations. Your VR experiences will truly come to life!

VR Kits

VR kit is basically a headset that you wear to experience 3D content. The idea is to create a virtual world that feels so real that you forget you’re wearing a headset! One of the key challenges is reducing latency, so that the images and movements match up perfectly with your head movements.

What you get

A signed build running on real devices, with the backend live behind it.

#How we work

Our usual VR application development process consists of five steps:

Every stage ends with something in your hands, and with a date you can hold us to.

“Changes during the plan cost days. Changes after coding starts cost weeks.”

Total to App Store submission: 23 weeks from kickoff — a mid-complexity Virtual Reality (VR) build. The parent mobile hub quotes 4–6 months for this band.

#Features

Features

Four areas that decide how a Virtual Reality (VR) build feels in the hand, not just what it contains.

Healthcare and psychological therapy
01

Healthcare and psychological therapy

VR in surgery simulations can help doctors and surgeons practice complex procedures in a risk-free environment. Also, VR therapy can be used to treat a range of psychological disorders, such as anxiety, PTSD, and depression.

Manufacturing
02

Manufacturing

With VR, designers and engineers can create virtual prototypes that are extremely accurate and detailed. VR also offers a versatile platform for training factory workers on complex machinery and procedures.

Education
03

Education

VR allows students to gain first-hand experience in a virtual environment that is safe, engaging, and accessible. And researchers can use it to simulate real-world scenarios and collect data from multiple points of view.

Transportation
04

Transportation

VR technology has the potential to revolutionize navigation and mapping systems, providing real-time information on traffic and road conditions. VR driving and flight simulators can also be used for training to handle real-world situations.

Entertainment
05

Entertainment

Virtual tours and virtual art installations can take viewers to places they may never have the opportunity to visit in real life, providing immersive experiences that are engaging and educational.

Retail
06

Retail

VR showrooms allow customers to explore and experience products in a way that is engaging and interactive, with the potential to increase sales. VR also offers a versatile training platform for retail employees to boost their sales.

Advertising
07

Advertising

Gamified ads use VR to create immersive experiences that engage viewers and encourage them to interact with the ad. And virtual events also have the potential to provide immersive experiences that mimic the real-world experience.

Real estate
08

Real estate

VR is being used in the real estate industry for virtual tours, which offer viewers an immersive experience of a property without the need to physically visit. This approach can help save time and resources for both buyers and sellers and provide a more accurate representation of a property.

#Tech

Engines & tooling we ship on

We pick the stack to fit the title, not the other way around. Most shipped work runs on Unity and Unreal, with custom backends and live-ops tooling layered on top.

AI assistants for generating concepts, textures, character variations, and LODs. We use them as accelerators for senior artists, not as replacements.

What our clients think about us

Direct quotes from the founders and directors who signed the work, published where you can check them.

Henrik OlsenCEO & Co-founder

Whimsy was the first outsourcing partner that actually felt like an extension of our internal team. Daily standups, transparent burndowns, and art that didn't need three revision passes.

Clutch
Maya ChenExecutive Producer

They took over live ops without a single dropped event. Retention grew a quarter in a row — and our internal team finally slept.

Questions producers and founders ask before signing. If yours isn't here — the form below lands in our inbox, not a sales queue.

Custom virtual reality (VR) app development is a part of the immersive technologies sector. It is becoming increasingly popular in the global market and is considered a fundamental step towards the Web 3.0 paradigm. Developing VR apps can help your business target new audiences, pursue innovations, and invest in the future of XR technologies. Offering your customers a virtual reality app can add more value to your business. Moreover, you can optimize your onboarding process by using a VR training simulator, which allows your employees to train in a risk-free environment with practical experience. The type of VR app you choose will depend on your business operations. For instance, VR training simulators are one of the most promising perspectives. Fortunately, Whimsy Games is an expert AR/VR app development company.
