Short description: Social virtual reality company

Sensorium Corporation is a social virtual reality (VR) company that is registered in the Cayman Islands with multiple offices nationwide. Including Los Angeles , Zurich, Switzerland, London, United Kingdom and Moscow, Russia.[1]

Overview

The initial prototype of Sensorium Galaxy platform was introduced at the Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3) in June 2019.[2][3][4]

Conceptually, Sensorium Galaxy is a virtual alternate universe consisting of multiple “worlds”. Each world acts as a hub for a specific type of content, such as music concerts, dance shows, art exhibitions, and masterclasses.

The platform works under a free-to-play model, which allows users to join activities without mandatory payments. Users will purchase visual items and effects to customize their avatars as well as tickets to exclusive events. Sensorium Galaxy will be accessible via VR headsets, mobile devices, and PCs.[5]

History

Sensorium Corporation was founded in 2018 by billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, former owner of the Brooklyn Nets.[1][6][7] The company developed Sensorium Galaxy, a social virtual reality platform that incorporates social communication tools, graphics, avatars powered by artificial intelligence, and content produced by partner artists and media companies.[1]

Epic Games is a Sensorium partner[6] whose 3D creation tool, Unreal Engine, is used in the Sensorium Galaxy platform.

Sensorium Corporation has raised over $100 million in private investments since its foundation. The platform is scheduled for public launch in the first half of 2021.[1][6][7]

In April 2020 Yann Pissenem, co-founder of Ushuaïa Ibiza and Hï Ibiza nightclubs, entered into a partnership with Sensorium Corporation to develop artist collaborations for PRISM, a thematic world in Sensorium Galaxy dedicated to electronic music events.[8] Sensorium also signed an agreement with London-based creative studio High Scream to develop the visual concept.[9]

In September 2020, Sensorium Corporation announced DJ David Guetta joined Sensorium Galaxy to host his performances.[10][11][12]

In October 2020 British house and techno record producer and DJ Carl Cox confirmed a collaboration with Sensorium Galaxy to create a series of VR-based DJ sets.[13][14][15][16]

Dutch DJ and producer Armin van Buuren announced a series of performances in Sensorium Galaxy.[17][18][19]

On October 27, 2023, 'Intermundium', the virtual show created in collaboration with Carl Cox, was released.[20] This 30-minute performance features tracks that were written, produced, and performed by Carl Cox, with his avatar taking center stage. The show was made available in VR, VR-360, and 2D formats, free of charge. By early December 2023, the 2D version of the show on YouTube[21] had garnered over 9 million views.
