Virtual Reality has been a popular subject lately in Asia, although not new to virtual reality, Orb Vr Labs was founded in 2014 by five passionate veterans of film, VFX, post production, telecom and product design. Based in Bangkok with an R&D office in Chang Mai, Orb VR Labs has set out to create new ways to visualize stories and is developing innovative solutions needed to build these mind-blowing immersive experiences.
“It happened over a few days, we were discussing stuff as we normally do and our discussions kept landing back to VR, AR and 360°. Our unique combination of talents, skills and resources created a lab type of studio where our sole purpose is to create innovative ways to tell new stories, says Bryn Cadman, former VFX supervisor.
“VR is exciting, where by film making you have to follow certain rules, virtual reality requires completely different approach and mindset. The immersive experience is very wild, The sky is not the limit”, says Lex Luther, Film Director.
We are ready to take on challenges and we’re fully equipped with a wide assortment of technology to create VR and 360° experiences. “Our focus is on content creation and building the infrastructure and technology to produce cinematic virtual reality that matches the scale and quality of modern film craft”. Sreeram Ramanathan, speaks from his base in Mumbai from where he represents the Indian extension of Orb VR Labs.
