Instant getaway to Kenyan wildlife
Virry VR: A new conceptual way of interacting with wild animals
It is a series of interactive educational VR products filmed in 4K VR at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy,
Kenya, home to the most endangered African megafauna: Black and White Rhinos, Lions and African elephants.
Virry VR is available for PS VR and Oculus Rift and Gear VR. It is all about giving the player a deeply impressive
experience of meeting wild African animals up close.
It uses technology to connect you to the wild by helping you form
a bond with these wild animals.
What is so unique about Virry VR ?
It’s a chance to take a short break to visit Kenya and interact with the wildlife without leaving your home or workplace. An actual safari experience costs around $5,000/week, whereas Virry VR is $4.99 or $9.99 depending on the platform. You can come back as often as you like. Even when you are feeling the blues - it’s the quickest and the safest experience to immediately reset your mental state.
What types of content does Virry VR have ?
There are three types of content in every edition of Virry VR:

I have seen thousands of spherical videos, and the footage from Virry VR is the most stunning nature scenes I have ever seen in any medium. Seeing a big Rhino, in its natural home, from the perspective of a mud puddle inches away, or having a Lion literally lick my face to test if I am edible, was among the coolest things I have done in VR to date. I predict this project will be a huge success in motivating people to learn more about nature and ecosystems.

In years gone by we envisioned an 'electronic safari' where people could encounter nature from afar so that wild animals could be left in peace. I’m happy to say that day has come.
