Emergent VR *

Emergent VR was a San Francisco Bay Area virtual-reality startup backed by GV (Google Ventures), where it is listed in the portfolio with the asterisk GV uses to mark exited companies. The enrichment pass found no live company web presence: the former emergentvr.com domain now resolves to an unrelated third-party blog, and the company's GitHub organization (github.com/EmergentVR, created March 2015) holds only ten repositories, all of them OpenCV builds and a fork of Google's cardboard-unity SDK, with no activity after June 2016. No developer portal, documentation, API, SDK, or event surface exists for this company, so no API artifacts were produced. Sector: consumer / virtual reality.

Emergent VR * is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Virtual Reality, VR, and Media.
