SUMMARY:
Survios is an American virtual reality game developer and software publisher based in Los Angeles, California. The company develops virtual reality software and games, including the titles Raw Data and Sprint Vector.
In March 2012, Survios launched Project Holodeck as an interdisciplinary effort at the University of Southern California, bringing together a team of technical artists and engineers to tackle big challenges such as avatar embodiment, positional movement, 3DUI, and game design for VR. As our final project, Survios developed one of the first full-motion VR games ever, called Wild Skies.
VISION:
We see a world where virtual reality is the preferred medium for play. Where makers can conceive, create, and collaborate in entirely new ways. We want to reignite what truly makes us human. Feel the rush of battle, the awe of exploration, and the exhilaration of imaginary futures and recreated pasts. The name Survios comes from the English prefix "sur" meaning "above, beyond" and the Greek 'βίος' meaning "life, reality" — taken literally, Survios means Beyond Reality. And this is exactly where we think the future is headed.
MISSION:
Founded in 2013, Survios is a Los Angeles-based virtual reality studio focused on building connected VR experiences with emergent interactivity, social multiplayer, and visceral play. At Survios, we see gaming as an art form, and we don’t just want to make games more immersive—we strive to make them more human. Our mission is to expand the human experience and unlock our creative potential through the power of virtual reality.
PRODUCTS / PROJECTS / PATENTS:
Battlewake: Set sail in Battlewake, a seafaring combat game made exclusively for virtual reality. As four ancient, super-powered Pirate Lords fighting for ultimate dominion, you’ll captain a massive battle-ready ship; navigate lush, elemental seascapes; and embark on a larger-than-life nautical war for the ages.
Creed: CREED: Rise to Glory™ puts you in the gloves of underdog Adonis Creed and challenges you to rise through the ranks to become a champion to be reckoned with. Train with the legendary Rocky Balboa, feel yourself become stronger, and go toe-to-toe with opponents under the spotlights of packed championship rings.
Electronauts: Electronauts is powered by Survios’s proprietary Music Reality Engine™, which transforms song elements into interactive components that sound epic no matter how you mix them.
Sprint Vector: It’s time for a new season of the galaxy’s only mandated viewing: Sprint Vector, the athletic sensation created by media mastermind Mr. Entertainment! He’s “recruited” the most skilled competitors from across the universe to battle it out in the Championship Intergalactica—but can they survive his mentally and physically diabolical cross-dimensional courses?
Raw Data: The year is 2271. The massive and seemingly benevolent Eden Corp owns the world, as its products and services dominate the international economy. And its newest service, an enticing proposition called Promotion, seems too good to be true.
