What We Do - Winnipeg VR

- Since 2017 -

What we do?

Bit Space Development worked with the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce to create a 360-degree video experience called Winnipeg VR. This experience takes you to multiple different businesses including some well-known, and some new businesses that show our diverse business ecosystem here in the prairies.

Our Wonderful Clients

We have worked with some incredible local companies and we would like you to join us in this journey.

Clients testimonials

The idea of Winnipeg VR – a digital membership guide for the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce is a technology whose time has come. Working with Bit Space Development has been a great experience. The questions they asked and pictures they took, help create the story about my business in a new and refreshing way.

Richard Rosin Funeral Director Ltd.

We are extremely excited to be part of the Winnipeg VR application. There is nothing like looking at our space in a 360 degree environment. Bit Space did an impressive job in recreating our restaurant in a virtual space in every detail. Their app gives us the chance to proudly share our space with potential customers.

The Technology

We shot the content using a couple different cameras. All of the content is in 360-degree photos and videos. Listed below are the cameras we use:

Ricoh Theta
Samsung Gear 360
GoPro Fusion

Winnipeg VR was developed for Google Cardboard and is released on the iTunes store and the Google Play Store. We also built an Oculus Rift version to showcase at events with the Chamber.

Don't just take our word, see for yourself.

Download Winnipeg VR on your smartphone and see our process in action.

You do require a Google Cardboard enabled VR HMD to operate.

The future

We are currently working on future plans for the technology. For now, this application is a good example of businesses coming together and utilizing technology to build something of cultural significance.

Eventually, we would like to turn this into a framework for creating tourism focused VR applications. There are limitations to 360 videos and photos, but until better technology like photogrammetry becomes more accessible. We don’t want to create something the average user cannot handle.

Tell us about you.
