Agora, Inc., a platform for real-time engagement APIs, has announced a partnership with HTC as part of the HTC VIVEⓇ Independent Software Vendors (ISV) Program to accelerate the adoption of VR innovation in real-time engagement (RTE) applications.
HTC VIVE is a virtual reality (VR) platform and ecosystem creating true-to-life VR experiences for businesses and consumers.
“As a company by and for global developers, Agora couldn’t be more excited to join the HTC VIVE ISV Partner Program,” said Tony Zhao, Founder & CEO of Agora. “By pairing our best-in-class RTE technology with HTC’s expertise in VR and XR, we are enabling developers to create virtual environments and experiences that we have never seen before. We especially look forward to working with HTC VIVE developers who are experimenting with enterprise applications to drive employee productivity. Through the pandemic, we have seen a massive uptick in innovation within the space and feel strongly that AR and XR coupled with RTE will drive the next-generation of workplace collaboration.”
“Tapping Agora’s expertise in RTE brings that vital human element into spaces powered by AR and XR,” said Cher Wang, CEO of HTC. “By bringing this champion of RTE into the HTC VIVE ISV Partner Program, we are providing developers with a crucial piece of the innovation puzzle — human connection. As we look toward a future defined by VR and XR, we feel confident that with Agora beside us, we will continue to make our combined offerings increasingly accessible to all developers.”
