XR Immersive Tech Inc., a British Columbia-based provider of social entertainment, virtual reality and augmented reality content, has introduced Portalx, a VR kiosk powered by its wholly-owned subsidiary, SynthesisVR Inc., according to a press release.
The system incorporates a VR headset and various cash and cashless payment methods along with a content library.
A modular interface allows multiple gameplay modes, custom video playback, fleet management, online statistics, leaderboard visualizations with optional player profile support and power-saving automation.
The company is working with OEM manufacturers to sub-license the technology for existing kiosk systems in the fields of gaming, healthcare, retail, entertainment, defense and education.
“Utilizing the vast library of content in gaming, education and enterprise while running on SynthesisVR platform gives Portalx a true advantage and stands apart from other kiosks,” A. Shabeer Sinnalebbe, CEO at XR Immersive Tech Inc., said in the press release. “A VR tower that can deliver an attendant-less virtual reality experience in a multitude of industries and not just for gaming. The upright kiosk remains a popular genre for VR deployment, especially for venues that want to dip into the immersive waters but do not have the space or deep pockets for a larger deployment.”
