History
Ready Team One was co-founded in 2018 by Chris Cheng, Scott Whiteley and James Tang in Perth, Western Australia.[1][2][3]
Initially self-funded, the company began developing in-house VR games and in 2018 developed the first full body and finger tracking VR system in Australia (unchallenged as of 2022) which offers one-to-one in-game body tracking for superior VR immersion. The gaming studio provides a free roam virtual reality experience to gamers.[4][5]
In 2020, the company was awarded VR/AR Game of the year, WASCA Innovation in Game Design 2020 Award, and was listed as a recipient of the Epic Games MegaGrant for their efforts in free-roam VR game design.[6][1]
Ready Team opened their now flagship VR experience location in Perth in the second half of 2020 before expanding to Europe via a licensing model in 2021.[7][8]
As of February 2022, Ready Team One has developed three VR games that can be played at their VR experience centers. A fourth game is being developed by the studio that will be released during the mid of 2022.[9]
