Discover and play indie content VR / AR without a single download.
XR experience as a whole has established itself as an amazing tool for everything from staff training and marketing to digital imaging products, entertainment and interactive learning online. However, due to stringent procedures and rules used in major platforms, many independent content developers XR difficult to publish your experience on platforms like the Oculus or the Apple App Store.
To make life easier for these developers, the Chicken Waffle manufactures XR Swim, free trading platform designed specifically for developers and content publishers WebXR.
The platform has its own special application. Instead, users get access to content virtual reality directly from a browser that is compatible with WebVR. The same applies to the experience of WebAR. Just go to the web site XR Swim in the smartphone browser and select the web interface to start the interaction with the 3D elements in a real environment.
Finn Staber, CEO of Chicken Waffle: “XR Swim — it is basically a platform rivals Steam, focused on the XR, but with additional curatorial sections. Games, Education, Enterprise, Entertainment and WebAR — all part of the platform — adds Staber — it also has a cool section for experiments where developers can publish content that may be not the full game, but has an interesting and useful functionality.”
Because downloading is not required for all experiments in XR Swim not only easy to access but also to share them. Just send a link to your friend by email or text message, and he will be able to connect to you using your device.
Like popular third-party platform SideQuest, XR Swim can be very useful for immersive content on the Internet, offering independent authors a place to showcase their projects, be it a fully developed game or a simple technical demonstration.
Chicken Waffle has partnered with some of the most experienced developers and studios in the industry to release a set of tools and services that enable developers and publishers to maximize distribution. At this point you will find the experience of these creatives, like Google Creative Lab , 8th Wall , A-Frame , Daniel Esteban , Marpi and many others. You’ll even find yourself Chicken Waffle on XR Swim!
Chicken Waffle has released a platform with an impressive library of free games and experiences that you can try right now. Many of these projects are open source, the project files are available for download and customization. Soon they will support the function of the market, which will allow authors to sell experience and download files in digital format. “The mission is to create a better market for developers, in cooperation with the leading manufacturers of interactive tools, such as Mozilla, 8th Wall, Unity, Unreal, and many others,” said Staber.
However, to accomplish this mission, the people behind XR Swim, want to hear from the developers what they need. Steam provides a great service and may charge developers due to their huge install base. Approach Chicken Waffle is different; they want to Swim XR helped developers achieve success by allowing them to access the open marketplace. Developers creating educational experiences and marketing/grocery visualization, could use the platform to submit content to the masses, getting useful feedback.
This would help the prosperity of our industry, AR/VR, which is due to developer support where they need it most.
