Arcade

Arcade’s goal is to make the OASIS, as depicted in Ready Player media, a reality. We’re a vertically integrated VR company building leading-edge immersive HMDs alongside the MMO, software, and peripheral devices that can grant users absolute immersion. We believe a deeply integrated approach is requisite to delivering this experience and are skeptical of the ability of currently favored development avenues to get us there.

Some things we believe in:

Controllers, analog sticks and teleportation (the popular VR concept) are terrible ways to interact and locomote in Virtual Reality.

Immersion > cost at most margins.

PCVR > Standalone HMDs (for our purposes, at least.)

VR peripherals (omnidirectional treadmill, haptic force feedback gloves etc) matter quite a bit.

We’re currently in the process of building our first HMD prototype, one we think strikes the perfect balance between FOV (140+), pixel density, and weight among leading-edge headsets.
