EmpressVR is both a co-operative business, and also a global community of virtual reality developers, artists, sound designers, world builders, motion capture specialists, robotics engineers, immersive actors, creative technologists, and innovators.  

Our central objective is Amplifying Diverse Voices in Immersive Storytelling.

The EmpressVR discord community was first founded in July 2021, and by early 2022 the community really started growing as Dominique Vyborna began developing the concept for Exploring the Shadows, a VR application to support people with PTSD.

We now have over 175 community members globally, with a strong cohort in Bristol UK.

We believe that growing an inclusive, caring, and supportive community will directly increase the diversity of our immersive content, which will then improve immersive user experience, strengthen the social immersive community, increasing opportunities for immersive creator mentorship, which will then improve the content of our immersive elements. Building an functional and dynamic community is key to how we choose to support the immersive industry.

We do not compete, we collaborate! Reach out if you have any ideas you’d like to explore! All are welcome!

EmpressVR is the trading name of Empress Immersive LTD and is registered in England with the company number 16325264.
