Gabriele Sorrento, Director of Vection Technologies and CEO of Mindesk, saidVection Technologies will advance the Facebook ISV program to accelerate go-to-market and adoption from the significant Oculus user base.

As part of the Facebook Oculus ISV program, ISVs gain access to a wide range of resources, as well as the opportunity to collaborate with Oculus experts.

Qualified enterprise developers and ISVs will be provided with help:

  • Accelerating customer adoption of VR solutions.
  • Using tools to scale their VR practice.
  • Implementing go-to-market strategies.
  • Accessing technical expertise.
  • Learning more about Oculus products.
  • Facilitating ongoing feedback.

Resources available within the ISV program:

  • ISV Multi-Company Workgroup
  • ISV Program Webinar Series. Facebook will be setting up an on-going series of webinars
dedicated to informing and enabling ISVs to take full advantage of ISV Program resources.

Following on from the successful Closed Beta Launch of Mindesk 2020.3 in August 2020, the Company has now officially brought to market the much anticipated Network Multi-User VR in two of the most wide-spread CAD software on the market: Rhino 6 (rhino3d.com) and Solidworks 2019/2020 (solidworks.com).

Mindesk 2020.4 introduces powerful features to help teams collaborate on the same commercial CAD project through multi-user VR sessions for collaborative design, reviews or for brainstorming of new ideas.

Mindesk 2020.4 represents a strong leap forward in the development of the Mindesk software, aligned with the company’s 6-months objective of bringing to market cloud and LAN collaboration features covering the three levels of value creation: Enterprise, Team and User.

We are proud to partner with a top AR/VR player like Facebook Business and deliver to enterprises a scalable, professional and reliable joint solution,” Mr Sorrento said.

“After following the developments of Facebook Business platform since its announcement during Oculus Connect 6 in 2019, we can finally certify its full maturity. This technical and commercial platform is ready to support Vection’s enterprise solution growth.”
