BERKELEY, Calif., Aug. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Powis Parker, Inc., creator of virtual reality (VR) viewers based on Google Cardboard(TM) technology, announced the availability of its PopUp Viewer -- a compact, high-quality viewer aggressively priced for bringing VR experiences to marketing campaigns, large events, trade shows/conferences, sporting events, concerts, and other applications. To use, people simply place their smartphone into the PopUp Viewer to engage with VR content; accessible via smartphone apps, websites, YouTube, and more.

"Google Cardboard has fundamentally changed the VR market," says Powis founder Kevin Parker. "Now, for a fraction of the cost of typical head-mounted devices (HMDs), companies can deliver compelling VR experiences to all kinds of audiences."
"VR is a democratizing technology," said Mahmoud Mattan, Director of Business Development for Powis. "It gives people the opportunity to experience moments that were previously reserved for the wealthy, daring or famous; like watching the Super Bowl from the first row of the 50 yard line or traveling to the Eiffel Tower. We created our VR viewers to enable organizations and marketing agencies to bring these experiences to everyone."
Customizable
PopUp Viewers can be custom 'skinned' with any type of branding, graphics or messaging to support an event or activity. Leveraging Powis' 30 years of experience in high-quality paper lamination and fabrication, PopUp Viewers are produced in its 50,000 square foot factory in Berkeley, California -- enabling the company to rapidly customize viewers to the specific needs of brands and events across the world. Once the PopUp Viewer's design is determined, Powis can rapidly fabricate whatever number of units customers need.
Availability and Pricing
The PopUp ViewR virtual reality viewer is available immediately at http://www.powisvr.com. Single viewers are priced at $14.99 MSRP and under $10/viewer for large customized orders.
