Formed in 2016 by J.J. Castillo an award winning Director and Producer from Austin, Texas. After putting on an early oculus development kit headset he began obsessing over all the new and different ways content could be created for this emerging medium. This lead to a pivot from traditional filmmaking into hybrid experiences developed inside videogame engines. VIEWER READY‘s first major project was creating a VR Basketball experience for MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, ANHEUSER-BUSCH, THE NEW YORK KNICKS. This partnership lead to many custom interactive branded activations and paved the direction of the company as it began building a team of talented engineers and artists from all over the world who share a love and interest for cutting edge immersive technology. Over the next 5-6 years we would partner with brands including DELL, SXSW, TIFF’S TREATS, ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE, THE US AIR FORCE and many more. In 2021 we launched our first consumer videogame “TOTALLY BASEBALL” on all Virtual Reality platforms where it has become one of the top selling titles worldwide.
Since 2016 we have expanded our expertise from standard Virtual and Augmented Reality experiences to up and coming technology workflows including Pointcloud + Hologram capture/design, 3D scanning and rigging, and mixed reality production. In March of 2022 we constructed our new facility in central Austin, equipped with development and QA space, audio recording and post production offices and a full sized green screen soundstage. We are currently working on our original products and experiences while accommodating our existing and future brand partners with innovative unique XR experiences using current and upcoming hardware releases. VIEWER READY is a creative tech agency that can offer innovate and gamified solutions/concepts and have the ability in-house to turn them around from our provided storyboards and animatics to a full turn key finished product. With VIEWER READY you will be working directly with the team creating the tech who can break down what is possible/not possible or what can be compromised while still keeping your vision and scope. There are many companies with over complicated websites that use tech buzzwords, stock photos and generic graphs who offer similar tech and deliverables who are heavily staffed by admin and salespeople who can over promise and over charge for tech they don’t fully understand who will take your budget, cut it in half and hire us to make the tech. Working with us will get rid of the middle man and keep your budgets reasonable.
