New to VR? Here's the Quantious team's favorite VR apps!
Here at Quantious, virtual reality (VR) is a topic we talk about daily. Over the past year, we’ve found that 65% of our team use VR on a weekly basis to connect with friends, get work done, play games, and stay active. And our team is not alone. More than 171 million people worldwide are estimated to be using VR, with 77 million users coming from the United States.
Virtual reality is reshaping how we work, create, and connect. Whether you’re a newcomer exploring VR for the first time or looking for apps to level up your experience, the Quantious team has you covered. As a marketing agency immersed in tech and experiential activations, we’ve spent countless hours in VR. These are our top picks for must-try apps.
1. ShapesXR – The Ultimate VR Design Tool
If you’re in design, product development, or marketing, ShapesXR is a game-changer. This collaborative 3D sketching and prototyping tool lets teams ideate, iterate, and visualize concepts in an immersive environment. It’s perfect for creating storyboards, VR interfaces, or even mapping out experiential activations. With intuitive controls and multi-user collaboration, it’s like Figma—but in VR.
2. Wooorld – Explore the Globe in VR
For teams working on location-based marketing, research, or just looking for creative inspiration, Wooorld is an interactive map experience that brings the planet to life. You can visit cities, explore landmarks, and plan activations in a shared VR space. It’s especially useful for event marketers and global brands looking to connect with audiences in different regions.
Looking to use VR for work purposes? We have a great Case Study on how the Quantious team used Wooorld to plan and execute a client’s event, determining event logistics when there was no time to travel to the event locations.
3. Gravity Sketch – VR Design for 3D Creators
Another favorite for designers and creatives, Gravity Sketch allows for freeform 3D modeling and ideation. Whether you’re sketching product concepts, architectural spaces, or immersive experiences, this tool streamlines the creative process. It’s a great way to develop and showcase VR-ready assets for marketing activations.
4. Synth Riders – Workout, and Get in the Rhythm
Synth Riders is a rhythm game that combines freestyle dance and fitness, packed with 77 licensed songs (and more available for in-app purchase) with a variety of fun modes to keep players moving and grooving. Similar to another popular game Beat Saber and Supernatural, the app allows users to workout from the comfort of their home.
5. Horizon Workrooms – VR Collaboration Made Seamless
For teams embracing the future of meetings, Horizon Workrooms is Meta’s take on immersive collaboration. It offers spatial audio, customizable avatars, and a shared whiteboard, making it a powerful tool for brainstorming sessions, presentations, and virtual coworking.
