SK Telecom announced that it will unveil its AR/VR platform 'T real VR Studio' at Google I/O 2017, a Google developer conference held in Mountain View, California, where Google's headquarters are located.

T real VR Studio, which is being introduced for the first time this time, is an upgraded version of SK Telecom's AR/VR integrated platform T real, which was released in April of last year, by linking it with Google's VR platform, Daydream.

T real VR Studio allows users to create VR content directly on their mobile devices. Existing VR platforms are PC-based, requiring users to passively consume content created by professional designers or developers. T real VR Studio allows users to create VR content intuitively, like building Lego blocks, without any specialized knowledge, simply by donning a VR headset (HMD).

For example, in a VR game where you build a virtual city, previously the game progressed according to a scenario set by the developer, but with T real VR Studio, users can freely develop a city-building game based on their imagination, such as creating buildings, bridges, and forests, constructing trams in the city, or creating roller coasters that pass between high-rise buildings.

Collaboration between users is also possible. By simply connecting to a network, users who are far apart can create and share VR content together in the same virtual space.

It is possible to create content in various fields, such as a game for children that allows them to play with blocks together at home, an architectural simulation program that allows them to design a new city and test situations, and a design program that allows them to change the internal and external structures of machine parts implemented in 3D to come up with better designs together.

You can view the created video immediately. After creating the content, simply attach a camera icon to it to view a 360-degree view of the scene from that location. For example, by creating a roller coaster between high-rise buildings, attaching a camera icon to the train, and playing the content, you can enjoy a 360-degree, first-person perspective of the surrounding cityscape as it changes along the train's path, as if you were on board. The created video can also be shared on YouTube.
