BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the owner of a VR development company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Groove Jones?
We were creating a location-based experience for a theatre, and we needed someone with experience in both technology and creative.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Groove Jones determined which game engine we should use. Then, they designed a VR experience based on a script that we provided them with. They designed what the environment would look like, as well as all of the characters and animals. The team added point of view and creative content.
They advised on all of the hardware for the PCs that run the experience. They also advised and organized the hardware relative to the VR headsets themselves. Then, they troubleshot any issues we had during startup.
The end deliverable was a ten-minute VR experience that people now view commercially.
What is the team composition?
Our main point of contact was Gary (Executive Producer & Partner).
How did you come to work with Groove Jones?
We had to evaluate several different technologies and make a few technologies work together that had never worked together before. In discussing that with various service providers, Groove Jones seemed to have the deepest technical expertise on how to make it happen.
How much have you invested with them?
It was over $1 million.
What is the status of this engagement?
Our work together began in December 2019, and we wrapped up in October 2020.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The VR experience is available publicly, and it’s been received with overwhelming praise. I don’t think my experience working with Groove Jones could’ve been any better.
How did Groove Jones perform from a project management standpoint?
They were very responsive. We communicated through typical tools like email, phone calls, and texts. They were forward-thinking, and they took it upon themselves to get to the next step.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their ability to marry their technical acumen and creative capacity in order to provide something that the public would really enjoy was very impressive.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I don’t think so. This was a hard project, and they did a great job.
