• More Everest, Deeper Experience, Lower Price - 14 February 2017

  When we first conceived of EVEREST VR, our goals were to use the evocative power of VR to recreate some of the key emotions involved in summiting the highest peak in the world but also to use the technology to allow people to engage with geography and history in a completely new way. With this second major free update of EVEREST VR we give you a little bit of both. Some of the major changes are in the mode called 'God Mode' that you can access directly right from the lobby. Many of you asked us if it was possible to climb the whole mountain at a human scale. The new God mode was specifically conceived to give users the freedom to explore the terrain in any way they saw fit and engage with geographical and historical data immersively. All of this you access by moving naturally within the whole mountain range with the very important addition that you can now choose at which scale you expe…

• New Trailer: Experimenting with Mixed Reality - 30 September 2016

  When Steam VR launched, Valve used EVEREST VR to create a short mixed reality segment for their launch trailer. The Sólfar and RVX teams were kind of inspired, so we decided to build some special code in Unreal Engine that allowed us to capture participants on a green screen and accurately composite their reactions against the real-time scene rendering in VR. All of the footage you see is captured in real-time from EVEREST VR, no beauty pass in post production. The participants in the trailer are all students from the Technical College in Reykjavik. For most of them, it was their first time in VR. Big thanks to the school for the green screen facility and to the students for climbing with us. And shout out to Wang Hao @Directive Games for the UE4 mixed reality coding. It´s not perfect, but we think it´s a good first experiment. And we´re working on more mixed reality content as we get o…

• What s Everest VR Actually Like? - 8 August 2016

  I made good on my promise last week and booted up Everest VR to see what the mountain-summitting experience really had to offer. I was especially curious after seeing so many negative reviews calling it out for being a very expensive tech demo with not much to do. I’m sorry to say that I actually concur with that assessment. …

• Onwards And Upwards: Everest VR Released - 3 August 2016

  “If I only could be running up that hill with no problems,” sang Kate Bush in her ode to the very real dangers faced by mountaineers attempting to summit Everest to this day and by Mallory and Irvine in 1924 in particular. Luckily for Kate Bush, Everest VR – S lfar Studios’ attempt to encapsulate something of the experience of climbing Everest in virtual reality in the safety of your living room – has now been released. I need to work on the snappiness of my intro text. WON’T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE NEWS PYRAMID? Oooh! Maybe you could summit a news pyramid in the follow-up game? …

• EVEREST VR is Live! - 2 August 2016

  I am happy to announce the release of EVEREST VR, the very first product of Sólfar Studios, co-developed with RVX. It’s been nearly two years now since Sólfar Studios was founded with the goal of bringing people to impossible places through transformative virtual reality experiences. As an impossible place for most people, Everest ranks quite high. At the same time its stern beauty and majestic presence is something that everybody should experience at least once in a lifetime. One of the promises of VR is precisely to be able to do that, so we decided to put it to the test. For us as veterans from the game industry, approaching this new media was a great learning experience. Did we want to create a game or an experience? Did we want to tell a story or allow the user to create their own? What was our target audience and what would their expectations be? We decided early on that EVEREST V…
