Invited to the VR Forum as a young entrepreneur

Last but not least, on VR Forum also met the young entrepreneur Cécile Amstad. She told us that she was actually very surprised, as a small fish with her company Amstad Digitalto be invited by the World VR Forum.

After the surprise, she decided without further ado to take all three products with her. One was a project in the field of real estate, then a game and a cinematic VR experience.

From dishwasher to VR

The bright young entrepreneur told us fresh from the horse's mouth how she came to her business and to VR. It's a bit like a classic dishwashing story. When she was working at a call centre after completing her CT, she received a laptop as a gift from her boyfriend. Soon she was totally hooked on technology. She gave up going out, partying and other leisure activities and became extremely involved with game development, project planning and 3D design. She taught herself practically everything - very admirable.

You can't live on it yet

At the moment, she cannot finance her livelihood with VR. As with many other VR pioneers, the work and further development of the Herzblut projects is cross-financed with other orders in the app sector. At least she can show that she can carry out projects and certainly already has good references for future VR stories.

The short test

I briefly tried out the real estate application called VRreal Estate and must say I was able to get a very good impression of the flat. Although she later noted that the client actually wanted the flat naked and she had to quickly place some furniture and objects for the VR forum, I thought the view of the flat was already very realistic and well done.

I also played the game called Burning Bridges briefly and once again rather failed. The goal was to get up to the blue light by building bridges. Somehow I never made it further than three floors before I fell into the depths again. In my self-defence: It was the very last application after three full days of VR Forum testing and I was still pretty exhausted from all the experiences and conversations. The game is still in development, but Cécile Amstad plans to release it soon on her website for free.

She doesn't know exactly where she wants to go in the big VR world. She now has these three projects and is looking to see where someone is most likely to bite. With so much talent and ambition, it must work.
