London, 4 May 2022 — Electric Skies, a UK company which co-produced the award-winning interactive experience Glimpse, and Virtualiter, an Italian company which produced Virtual Reality applications for world-famous museums, luxury locations and exhibitions, are announcing today that the companies are actively cooperating on new projects in the VR market, to seize the opportunities offered by new technologies.

Electric Skies and Virtualiter will bring to the table their expertise in the respective fields. Today, VR offers new powerful, interactive tools for storytelling. Glimpse has been a great visual, emotional experience for the viewer and has opened the space to explore new forms of artistic expression in the virtual space. The goal is to put users at the centre of the VR scene and allow them to play an active role and interact with the characters. Both companies have been working on this concept for some years, and thanks to recent innovations in the VR technology space, this is now possible.
