Reality Port

Project Description

Reality Port is a VR Experience Controller platform allowing a system manager to deploy, browse, run, and manage experiences for multitudes of headsets within a single organization. It is a business to business SaaS product ideal for organizations with significant VR system needs for education and training. Because this product manages headset content, monitors headset status information, records testing, and content completion data, it functions as a VR learning management system.

Three distinct applications have been developed as part of the Reality Port ecosystem; they are designed to run independently or bundled as a comprehensive system depending on the organizational needs. The Launcher application provides headset management control for small localized systems. The Learning Management module includes assignment and user tracking, and in-experience testing and scoring. The Self Service Check-in application is designed for location-based team registration and payment. All three applications have an Administrative Dashboard for global functionality.

Currently, Reality Port is in use in the following business segments: corporate training, entertainment management, experiential marketing at trade shows, and educational programming for nonprofit organizations.

Product Manager

This product is a result not of a single product development cycle nor a single problem solution but from multiple years of developing content and software solving a multitude of individualized problems for ourselves and clients. We aggregated similar issues and devised an operating system that we build our VR content on top of. We also provide an SDK for our SaaS clients to integrate their proprietary content.

Unlike my earlier production experience, which was quick and very clearly defined, this process has been more about managing an ever-changing landscape of stakeholders and features. The crafting of this product has engaged my problem-solving skills in an entirely different manner. Listening to my clients' needs, digging into the root desire for a VR solution, then asking penetrating questions allows me to discover challenges and propose solutions that were not apparent from a first look.
