InsiteVR grabs $1.5M in seed funding to bring 3D models to life in VR
InsiteVR just raised a $1.5 million seed round to tap into the architecture and construction markets and make early visions of projects more accessible to these industries’ clients through VR. Investors in this round include Y Combinator, CyberAgent Ventures, GREE VR Fund, Tracy Young and Ralph Gootee of PlanGrid, Greg Castle and Rothenberg Ventures.
Whenever the topic of non-entertainment use cases for virtual reality is brought up, it doesn’t take long for the practice of virtual walk-throughs to be brought up. There are plenty of existing startups tackling this issue when it comes to real estate, but said construction and architecture industries aren’t being catered to as directly when it comes to integrating virtual reality software into their workflows and presentations.
