IrisVR Releases 2 Virtual Reality Products

NEW YORK (November 15, 2016) – Following 2 years of intensive, successful beta testing, IrisVR announces its two virtual reality products are available to the public. The full launch of IrisVR Prospect and IrisVR Scope follows news late last month that IrisVR had secured $8 million in Series A funding, bringing the startup’s total funding to date to $10 million.

IrisVR’s technology allows industry professionals to curate VR walkthroughs, create life-like presentations and interact with virtual models, transforming the building documentation and design process. IrisVR Prospect is desktop software that enables users to convert files into VR in one click. Prospect experiences are fully navigable and can be viewed on the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.  IrisVR Scope allows users to upload, view and share 360-degree panoramas on mobile VR devices including Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR. The Scope app is available for both iOS and Android devices.

“Most of our team started their careers in AEC before coming to the tech world.  We pulled from our industry expertise to design tools that are comfortable, easy to use, and non-technical,” said IrisVR CEO and cofounder, Shane Scranton. “Our virtual environments can be generated within seconds from multiple file formats and provide true-to-scale perspectives that both inspire design and reduce errors.  We’re also seeing significant added value to our clients as they offer virtual reality as a selling point.”

Notable projects that utilized IrisVR in Beta include:

• Marmon Mok, based in San Antonio, used IrisVR’s Prospect while designing infusion centers at University Hospital. Virtual reality was used to help owner in identifying optimal patient movement in the center and identify nurse site lines to each patient.
• Mortenson used IrisVR’s Prospect to design and review with doctors and nurses at the Loyola University Medical Center who would be using the spaces to give their feedback before construction took place.   

The IrisVR team is currently showcasing the Scope and Prospect at the Autodesk University from today until November 17.
