Description

Welcome to the metaverse! A shared social universe where both casual users and creators coexist. Play and explore with your friends, collaborate with your coworkers or grab powerful building tools and create something new right inside VR.

History

Our team was co-founded by Tomas “Frooxius” Mariancik and Karel Hulec, two VR veterans and original Oculus Rift Kickstarter backers.

Tomas started developing games when he first got his computer at the age of twelve and has been tinkering with technology ever since, always searching for novel approaches to solving problems. During his high school years he received the 4th Grand Award in Computer Science at Intel ISEF 2012 for his experimental processor architectures.

After returning back to game design he started his VR career by supporting the Oculus Rift Kickstarter and developing some of the early award winning VR experiences, such as:

SightLine - 3rd place in the 2013 Oculus VR Jam

SightLine: The Chair - Grand Award at Kaleidoscope VR Film Festival

World of Comenius - 3rd place in the 2014 Leap Motion 3D Jam

Neos: The Universe - 3rd place in the 2015 Oculus & Samsung VR Jam

Karel always had a knack for combining business and technology. He joined the cryptocurrency market early and used his Bitcoin earnings to fund his other projects, particularly his VR endeavors. Because he and Tomas shared the same passion for using VR to improve education, they founded a startup called Solirax.

Solirax was one of the very first startups to get investment in the VR space as part of the first accelerator River VR by the Rothenberg Ventures in 2015.

Thanks to the funding and encouragement from the River VR team, we have been able to focus on developing Neos (VR) for the past three years, building a novel metaverse engine from the ground up and rethinking our basic approaches to developing social immersive tools and experiences.

With the support of our still small, but passionate community of developers, content creators, university teachers, researchers and casual users, we are now ready to accelerate the development of Neos by expanding our official team, extending its capabilities and exploring new platforms and applications.
