Borderless Launches Free VR Tools to Consumers

Did you know that you can create a virtual reality experience without paying for it and without coding? Soon, you can. Coming this fall, Borderless is making available its creative platform for consumers who don’t want to learn how to code or pay a fee. Borderless offers extended reality experiences that can increase accessibility to VR experience creation and simplify the delivery of content from corporate training to brand experiences to school field trips and beyond.

The company’s no-code platform brings experiences and products to life for some of the biggest brands in the world across the consumer electronics, retail training, and education verticals. Educational nonprofit Act One already uses it for virtual field trips for students in Arizona.

Borderless officially launched its enterprise-VR applications in 2021, and the platform is compatible with leading VR headsets like Meta Quest and Pico Neo. The company has plans to include the Apple Vision Pro down the road.

According to Borderless CEO Matt Robison, the VR platform is a powerful technological asset for brands and consumers alike because it simplifies the creation and delivery of VR experiences for a wide range of use cases. Robison explained more about it to StreetFight.

Why is Borderless making this platform free to consumers? What is the advantage of that?

Previously for enterprise use only, our platform will now make VR more accessible, scalable, and adaptable for organizations, brands, and creators worldwide. Borderless was purpose-built to be used by people anywhere, of any technical background. The platform will be free for student and personal use to help expand the use of VR and fuel innovation in the space. Paid subscriptions will be available for teams and enterprise users.
