What is ARuVR?
ARuVR, formerly VRTUOSO, was founded by Frank Furnari, inspired by the release of 'The Lawnmower Man' in 1995. The company's mission is to enable anyone globally to easily create and consume immersive augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) experiences. Furnari's vision, developed over years of professional experience and successive businesses, culminated in the creation of a unified AR and VR platform. The company's journey involved developing an immersive VR platform in partnership with two global corporate research centers from 2015 to 2017, which eventually evolved into VRTUOSO. In 2022, VRTUOSO officially became ARuVR, integrating both AR and VR technologies into a single, comprehensive solution poised for enterprise adoption.
