PLAY WITH
YOUR AUDIENCE

Gaming is now the number one source of entertainment for Gen Z and Gen Alpha. To reach new audiences, you need to play with them.

SCROLL

REAL-TIME SPATIAL STREAMING.

The Round is a SaaS tool for real-time spatial streaming, enabling developers and immersive studios to deliver high quality, infinitely scalable real-time animations on demand across all XR projects and games, freeing you from the limitations of data heavy animation files.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Our proprietary protocol lets you deploy and store spatial content reliably and dynamically at up to 120 frames per second with broadcast quality AV sync to an unlimited audience anywhere in the world.
  • STREAM

    Using any motion capture system, The Round's protocol synchronises, compresses, encodes and encrypts 3D motion and audio data in real-time for transmission at 120 frames per second.
  • DISTRIBUTE

    The Round Distributor is a cloud-based SaaS middleware that enables you to create, manage, access and licence unlimited libraries of 3D animation data from anywhere immediately.
  • PLAY

    The Round Player is a plugin for real-time 3D engines and runtime virtual environments that decodes your animation data in real-time for on-demand playback. Currently available for UE5.
