Arkave VR:
In September, Arkave VR was officially launched as a turnkey solution at two events in Vancouver BC: VRARA Global Summit and the Extraordinary Future.
YDreams Global would like to thank all the shareholders and investor who visited the booths to learn more about the company, meet the team and tried the game “The Last Squad” by Arkave VR.
The VRARA Global Summit:
“Playing Arkave was one of my favorite experiences of the VR/AR Global Summit. The high-quality level of social gameplay is as good as it gets, and our team has received significant positive feedback from attendees.” said Nathan Pettyjohn, Founder & President, VR/AR Association and VR/AR Global Summit.
This event was critical as it brought together all the strategic players in the VR/AR space which allowed YDreams to build new relationships with leaders in the sector. Arkave VR showcased what is possible in the space and impressed everyone that tried it.
“Y-Dreams free roam VR adventure “The Last Squad” delivers world-class entertainment with this robot wave shooter. I liked so much, I did it twice!” said Charlie Fink – AR/VR Consultant, Columnist at Forbes, Speaker and Author. Arkave getting a positive endorsement from someone as notable and influential as Charlie is in the AR/VR Sector is encouraging beyond belief.
Intel and Arkave VR
Intel is partnering with YDreams on their new high-quality multiplayer location-based VR gaming experience. Intel’s Virtual Reality Group is working with YDreams to enhance the Arkave experience with wireless headset technology developed in partnership with HTC.
Raj Puran, Director of Client VR Business Development & Strategic Partnerships from Intel stated “Arkave is one of the most compelling and exciting team multiplayer experiences in VR.

Extraordinary Future:
“Arkave was an absolute highlight of our Extraordinary Future Conference. I saw CEOs, seasoned investors, and the Vancouver tech crowd all laughing like kids as they tried the experience together. YDreams had a line from the time the event opened until they tore it down for a very good reason. I look forward to seeing Arkave in locations all around North America!” said Sean Mcmillan, Account Manager at Cambridge House, the producers of Extraordinary Future.
Various social media posts created a buzz outside of the show and Daniel Japiassu the CEO of YDreams spent a good portion of the show conducting media interview requests which helped with general market awareness and helped strengthen the Arkave brand.
Blueprint Reality Inc.
YDreams continues to be innovative with its Arkave VR Experience by signing a cooperation LOI with Blueprint Reality Inc. The objective is to promote and create business links between the two parties starting with the product MixCast which is the world’s most powerful solution for the broadcast and presentation of mixed reality. MixCast seamlessly blends realities together for instant sharing of virtual experiences.
The solution records the experience from players during their gameplay and transforms into different formats of media that can be shared in social media or print. Imagine sharing your virtual experience or adventure with your friends in a video not as an avatar but as yourself. This allows people to remember, share and relive the experience while becoming a marketing tool as they share.
By offering the solution as an add on to Arkave VR, the Company is creating another differential to its sales strategy and another source of revenue to future clients of Arkave VR.
