1. What does VeeR stand for?
According to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, “Veer” means to change direction or course. We took the name “VeeR” because first, people would know we are a VR-related product immediately; Second, when people watch VR content, they turn from side to side, changing directions (Veering). So we think VeeR is the most explicit name.

VeeR believes that VR content shooting and sharing will be widely popularized and VeeR was born for the purpose of spreading VR to all four corners of the world.

5. Can you share with us the kind of videos that are being published on the VeeR platform?
We have a wide variety of creators: professional creators like Warner Brothers, Associated Press, World Bank, and every-day 360 camera users covering all types of professions such as NASA astronaut, tattoo shop owner, lawyer, and chemistry professor etc. The VR content they create touches all genres and topics, from scuba diving to bungee jumping; from Harvard CS class to VR movie trailers.
