LucidWeb has worked with recognized leaders in content creation and media innovation worldwide such as Netapp (US), VRT (BE) and ARTE France as they all agree on the benefits of bringing their content to the browser. ‘We worked with LucidWeb to convert a VR experience into WebVR. This helped to lower the threshold for people to discover the story while maximising the sense of immersion across devices: mobile, desktop or VR headset’ Adrien Larouzée (Head of Web Projects & Games, ARTE France).
