Project was a ground up rewrite of an immersive vehicle simulation engine and a framework for orchestrating a series of driving scenarios. Key deliverables were:

The project was primarily managed by a dedicated project manager using Jira/Confluence as the management tool.For the initial 6-9 months of the project, the team also adhered to a rigorous agile methodology with 2 week sprints. This worked well for the core deliverables from the technical (software) team. Once the project got into asset creation and integration, there were communication challenges that were hard to resolve using this methodology. This was a contributor to cost overruns on the project. Eventually, the project was split so that 4Experience was only responsible for technical deliverables and another vendor was used for art/assets to finish the project.

4 Experience's technical team is extremely well run and has good process discipline. Early in the project the architecture was carefully thought through and articulated for review. This documentation has been well maintained throughout using a mix of Confluence and draw.io. This is possible because 4Experience has some really great engineers who work in a disciplined and thoughtful way.

Generally, the art/asset and level design components of the project were not sufficient for the product look and feel that was desired. This resulted in a lot of iteration that was likely unnecessary in retrospect. The delivered scenes had generally poor framerate performance that could only by addressed by having an external engineer and art vendor work through optimization. Once this was done, performance was outstanding and is a testament to the underlying engine code quality.

I needed a web-based VR video player so our customers could play our 360-degree training footage on their smartphones. The VR video player needed to have several key features, including:

4experience's project management was impressive. They are very professional and did deliver items on time. The scope of the project ended up growing much bigger than initially anticipated so there were a lot of additional requests that needed to be made, but they were very professional and responsive in the way they handled it. Ultimately, we agreed to certain increases in the scope to deliver the final project I am happy with.

Email or Messaging App

Their professionalism was very impressive and appreciated. Every step of the way, I was engaged so I knew exactly what was going on.

I think for people like me who are not as experienced with developing software, just make sure that every aspect of the project requirements are understood from the start of the project. The big one I did not anticipate was important was very clearly establishing what the performance standards of the app should be. Ultimately, we were able to make it work though.

The gameplay consists of a 20-minute VR bike ride through the city. There are two types of gameplay:

The project development was based on two weeks sprints. We were communicating on Google Meet and Discord. Discord was something new to us, but it worked great. There was a change in the Project Manager position over time, but the communication was flawless. The new Project Manager took over the tasks smoothly and without any additional delays associated with his joining our project. He was informed earlier at what stage the activities are, and we have not felt any adverse effects of this change.

There are two things that I’m most impressed with. Firstly, they finished the project even earlier than expected. Secondly, we were a bit worried when there was a change in the Project Manager position during the development process, but it was perfectly organized and so smooth that we didn’t even feel the difference. Overall they did a great job, and we will be happy to work with them in the future as we plan to develop this software further.

I’m a neurologist at a nonprofit academic hospital.

We needed to develop a VR application that could autonomously test the neurological functions of patients.

4Experience developed a VR application. We had several planning meetings with 4Experience to discuss the vision I had for the app. I shared videos and resources to explain my job and what I wanted to accomplish with this project. After these brainstorming sessions, 4Experience developed a game script, troubleshoot the possible issues, and designed the project’s workflow.

We worked with four people. During the introductory meetings with 4Experience, I met with several of their developers. However, for most of the project, my main points of contact were four teammates from 4Experience, including Robert (Sr. Project Manager & Scrum Master).

I approached several VR development companies through a Google search and referrals. I found 4Experience online and chose them because they were responsive and enthusiastic about our project. Their business proposal fit into our budget, and they were the first ones to send us a project timeline.

We invested around $110,000 with 4Experience.

We worked with 4Experience from May 2022–February 2023.

This was an academic research project, we haven’t finished the testing phase, so we don't have quantitative metrics yet. However, 4Experience achieved what I asked them to, which was to develop an easy-to-use, automated, and accurate platform.

I was pleased with 4Experience’s project management. They were extremely open, professional, and responsive. Robert was organized and diligent. We used Jira and Confluence as project management tools. To communicate with 4Experience, we used Google Meet and Discord.

I was most impressed by 4Experience’s design skills. They created a functional product based on my idea and were able to recognize issues early on and design around them.

No, I can’t think of any negative feedback. 4Experience’s job was great.

If you scope the project effectively and are clear about your goals with 4Experience, they’ll deliver what they promised. They’re good at understanding the project’s scope and objectives — you just have to be clear with them.

As a Partner and Consultant at 4Results, I am responsible for client and business development. My area of expertise lies in sales management, key client management, and personal development, particularly emotional intelligence and mindfulness.

Because our company was created to offer effective communication & leadership training based on virtual reality, we needed an all-inclusive development studio to make it happen. 4Experience was who we chose for the assignment of turning our ideas into reality.

4Experience was recommended to us by another company. We checked their offer, talked to their consultants & experts and decided that they had everything we needed. An important deciding factor was their rich portfolio, especially when it comes to XR training solutions.

After initial talks and coming up with the elementary training design, we talked about the technical details. 4Experience works with the Unity engine, which is a great choice when it comes to virtual reality.

We had a full team of developers, artists, designers and testers at our disposal. The size of the team changed at each step of the project. Everything was supervised efficiently by a project manager.

The project ended with us receiving a complete VR application. All mechanics work flawlessly, everything is well-optimized and looks really good. Especially elements of the interface.

We talked on Discord and met during regular video calls. As with every software project, challenges did occur, but they were all resolved appropriately. Agile techniques were used for project management. Overall their management skills were decent.

They have a great culture of work and a customer-oriented approach. We were amazed by their understanding of the business side of the project. Their knowledge and experience in the field of XR projects really helped us minimalize the risk of investment and bring us a valuable project that is already paying back.

We didn’t notice any areas that inevitably needed improvement.
