Russian virtual reality platform Fibrum to measure itself against Google’s Daydream

Next month Russian startup Fibrum, a developer of virtual reality headsets and applications, will launch a VR platform to bring together gamers, as well as game and VR headset developers from different countries. The platform will be made available in English and Russian.

Users will be able to download applications for their VR headsets directly from the Fibrum Platform. They will be redirected to one of the marketplaces, such as Google Play or App Store, if they want to download the app. At the same time developers will have an opportunity to promote products to their target audience.

Google announced that it plans this autumn to launch a similar platform, Google Daydream. The main difference between Fibrum and Google Daydream, which can be used only with a Google HMD or Google Cardboard, is that the former is suitable for all devices. In addition, Fibrum’s apps are suitable for all smartphone models, while Google has more rigid technical parameters.
