Dave Ranyard his former Sony London teammates Richard Bates, Artemis Tsouflidou, Albert Bentall and John Foster, who were all integral to the development of ‘VR Worlds’ for Sony’s PSVR headset. announced the formation of his new, independent studio Dream Reality Interactive, to focus on development of virtual reality games and experiences.
With an impressive background in creating innovative titles including ‘Singstar’, ‘Wonderbook: Book of Spells’ and ‘VR Worlds’ featuring ‘London Heist’ Dave’s experience and love of social play, VR and AR is central to Dream Reality’s development plans.
“With the availability of a range of VR headsets the question is no longer IF virtual reality will be successful, it is WHEN and most importantly, HOW? None of us really knows the answer but after a fantastic 17 years at Sony, now feels like the right time to explore the possibilities. Going independent allows me to work across all platforms and that’s very liberating.”
Dream Reality Interactive is already working on several projects and prototypes, creating its own IP in addition to developing titles in partnership with other IP owners, across a variety of VR headsets.
