Mountain enters the virtual reality market with Brainside

The Spanish company specialized in high-performance computing equipment has signed an agreement with the specialist in virtual reality design and development as part of its strategy to create alliances with innovative technology companies and create virtual reality content with its equipment..

The objective of the agreement Mountain con Brainside, both Spanish companies with a firm commitment to internationalization, is to establish a firm technological collaboration based on two points: support and facilitate the creation of virtual reality content with your high-performance computing equipment and R&D department, as well as position itself as a reference hardware manufacturer in this sector.

Both companies will carry out joint strategies to carry out projects during 2016, considered by different market studies as “the year of virtual reality”, according to City Research (‘Virtual and argumented reality’, corresponding to December of last year).

As Eva Pastor has pointed out, Marketing and commercial director of Mountain, “We are very excited about this new project.”. Virtual reality is a very interesting path for the company, not only because of the business opportunities it will bring, but to become protagonists of something that, we are sure, will change the way we relate to people and our environment, and immersing ourselves in this new adventure with Brainside is the best way to do it. Two Spanish companies, Aiming as high as the most important multinationals will surely bring us great success.”.

One of the first actions that are being carried out after the agreement is the certification of Mountain equipment by Oculus Rift, which gives this company's clients the guarantee that their high-performance computer systems will be able to run any application in augmented reality, as well as their development.

Specifically, Mountain has a wide portfolio of products that ranges from high-performance equipment to gaming, to professional solutions for designers, producers or architects (more information at Digital AV Magazine), which will now add the added value of being certified for Oculus Rift virtual reality lenses and Brainside developments.

This is also pointed out by Fernando Sierra, CEO of Brainside: “Virtual reality is going to significantly change most sectors.”. Nothing will be the same in fields like education, tourism or entertainment. In just a couple of years, everything related to audiovisual will be very different from how we know it now. Facing this horizon with the help of Mountain is fortunate, for the quality of its products and the professionalism of its team, and we hope to share important triumphs very soon”.
