Visbit Inc. operates as a technology company specializing in high-quality streaming of 8K and 12K 360-degree VR video. The company was founded in 2015 by Chang-Yuan (CY) Lee and Elaine Lu. Both founders brought significant experience from the tech industry to their venture. Lee, serving as CEO, previously worked on the Android multimedia team at Google and held positions at various tech companies, including database and multimedia startups. Lu, the COO, has a background in product management and user experience from her time at companies like eBay and mobile gaming startups.
The core of Visbit's offering is its View-Optimized Streaming (VVOS) technology, a solution designed to overcome the bandwidth limitations typically associated with streaming high-resolution VR content. This technology works by streaming only the portion of the 360-degree video that the user is currently looking at in full resolution, while the peripheral areas are kept at a lower quality. This approach significantly reduces the required bandwidth, making high-fidelity VR experiences accessible on standard Wi-Fi and 5G/LTE networks without extensive buffering. Visbit's primary product is a comprehensive platform that includes a publisher portal for uploading, transcoding, and managing VR content, alongside a VR player SDK that can be integrated into various applications.
The company targets content creators, producers, and distributors in the immersive media space. Its business model is structured around a subscription-based service, offering different tiers of pricing based on factors like the amount of content hosted and the number of views. By providing the necessary tools to stream and distribute high-resolution VR video effectively, Visbit positions itself as a key infrastructure provider in the growing virtual reality market. The company has secured funding from investors including Presence Capital, ZhenFund, and Colopl VR Fund, which has supported its technological development and market expansion efforts.
