We see a world where virtual reality is the preferred medium for play. Where makers can conceive, create, and collaborate in entirely new ways. We want to reignite what truly makes us human. Feel the rush of battle, the awe of exploration, and the exhilaration of imaginary futures and recreated pasts.

The name Survios comes from the English prefix "sur" meaning "above, beyond" and the Greek 'βίος' meaning "life, reality" — taken literally, Survios means Beyond Reality. And this is exactly where we think the future is headed.

Founded in 2013, Survios is a Los Angeles-based virtual reality studio focused on building connected VR experiences with emergent interactivity, social multiplayer, and visceral play. At Survios, we see gaming as an art form, and we don’t just want to make games more immersive—we strive to make them more human. Our mission is to expand the human experience and unlock our creative potential through the power of virtual reality.

In March 2012 we launched Project Holodeck as an interdisciplinary effort at the University of Southern California, bringing together a team of technical artists and engineers to tackle big challenges such as avatar embodiment, positional movement, 3DUI, and game design for VR. As our final project we developed one of the first full-motion VR games ever, called Wild Skies. Soon enough we were able to build a truly immersive VR environment that was intuitive, engaging, and (we think) super entertaining.
