The Lumiere Award-winning V-Nova PresenZ (pronounced presence ) blends cinematic visuals with 6DoF (Six Degrees of Freedom) XR immersion, allowing users to move within the scene as though physically present. This breakthrough format is set to transform entertainment by combining Hollywood-quality visuals with dynamic movement, in an immersive experience without motion sickness.

As the XR market grows, with gaming revenues already exceeding $7 billion annually, V-Nova s PresenZ breaks through technical barriers in music and cinema, offering viewers the comfort and photorealism previously unobtainable in immersive media.

Weightless will be available exclusively on SteamVR through the ImmersiX app for two months, before expanding to other platforms.
