Viveport is HTC's global app store, for which an innovation was announced at CES 2017 in Las Vegas. In spring 2017, an app subscriber service for Virtual reality content will be introduced. According to those responsible, the new service is designed to help customers navigate the ever-growing market of VR apps. It is also intended to open up a new channel for VR developers to monetise their content more easily.
Thousands of apps are already available worldwide for HTC Vive erhältlich. Viveports Abo-Service soll den Menschen demnach helfen, sich in diesem wachsenden Markt zurecht zu finden und neue Apps zu entdecken. Für einen „niedrigen“ monatlichen Beitrag bekommt man den Zugang zu einer laufend wachsenden Sammlung an Inhalten. Ein Abo-Preis oder Details zu den Inhalten wurden noch nicht genannt. Die VR-Entwickler haben ausserdem die Option, entweder ihre Produkte in den Abo-Service zu integrieren, oder weiterhin ihre Apps als eigene Titel zu vertreiben.
We are happy to inform VR fans that the same ways in which they find and consume music, films, TV and games via subscription services are now also available for virtual reality content. For developers, this is another way to reach new users. We want to open up as many ways as possible for them to present and market their content.
Rikard Steiber, President of Viveport
