We’re very excited to announce that our partners SpringboardVR and Synthesis VR have both integrated MixCast into their respective platforms! VR arcade operators, developers of games and other content, and consumers will all benefit from the addition of MixCast into the world’s largest and most popular arcade station management platforms. With the MixCast VR Marketing System, arcade customers will be able to create fun memories in VR, capture awesome in-VR pictures and videos, and share them on social media. The MixCast integration into each of the platforms allows for a more streamlined set-up process, making it easier for VR arcade operators to create mixed reality pictures and videos.
VR Arcade Operators
VR arcade operators will be able to show a mixed reality view of players in VR games on monitors in their arcades, for a more social and engaging experience for others in the arcade who are watching. They can also sell pictures and videos to their customers for an incremental revenue opportunity. And of course, they’ll be able to use the mixed reality media generated by customers to promote their arcades on their own social media sites. That’s increased revenue, increased awareness of their venue, and increased customer satisfaction!
VR Arcade Customers
We’ve heard from a lot of arcade customers that they’d love to get pictures and videos of themselves playing in VR. Not just a picture of them in a headset but a picture of themselves immersed in the VR world that they’re playing in! MixCast can make it possible! Not only does MixCast make it easier to capture pics and videos, but our system makes it quick and easy for arcade customers to share them with their friends and family on social media.
VR Content Developers
VR developers can benefit too! Showing a VR game or other VR content in a mixed reality view, with a person who is actually immersed in the experience, is the best way to communicate what it’s all about to prospective players. When arcades sell pictures and videos of players in VR experiences, the developers will receive a share of the revenue generated. Devs will also benefit from the additional exposure and awareness of their content from arcade customers sharing their experiences on social media.
Please note that the MixCast SDK needs to be integrated in VR games/experiences in order to accurately track distributions and pay out revenue share. The SDK is free and easy to integrate for projects built in Unity and Unreal and is available on our website at https://mixcast.me/sdk-details. Please contact us at sdkintegrations@mixcast.me for more information on how to participate in the program.
This is a very exciting time for all of us – Blueprint Reality, SpringboardVR, and Synthesis VR – as we all want to see the location-based VR entertainment ecosystem survive and thrive. We all want to create additional opportunities for VR arcade operators to enhance their offerings, increase customer satisfaction, and ultimately create successful businesses. We believe that mixed reality is an important part of VR entertainment, helping to provide a social element and allowing people to share their personal experiences in VR games.
