Mr. John Wise, Founder and President of TimefireVR, added, "In the earliest days of VR I had a vision to create a social space where people could interact and explore a world of art and culture. The alpha launch of Hypatia is a giant leap forward in the culmination of this multi-year effort. We will be evaluating the results of this test phase, as we get ready for a wider release shortly after completion of this stage. Our team of 30 have invested thousands of hours to build a truly magical environment where social interaction and creativity will elevate VR to being a learning opportunity that engages the user through an experience never seen before."
Mr. Jeffrey Rassás, Co-Founder and CEO, stated, "Here at the dawn of VR the industry heavyweights such as Oculus/Facebook, Samsung, HTC/Valve, and soon Microsoft are looking for the compelling content that can launch VR into the homes of millions. We believe our efforts with Hypatia may be exactly what the market is looking for. Our alpha will feature approximately 15 hours of content followed by over 40 hours of social interaction, entertainment, commerce, and educational content launching later this year. Hypatia is a unique product that has years of development already behind it standing ready as the growth trajectory of VR headsets become more affordable and move into mainstream adoption."
Effective March 6, 2017, the Company closed on a private placement offering with institutional investors and a Board member in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000. For full details pertaining to the financing, please refer to the Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
