A good base if you already have some experience **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris B. | Motion Graphics Artist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2019 **What do you like best about ApertusVR?** Open source is always the best way to go if you can. The freedom it provides allows you to tailor a more bespoke product that can help you stand out from the crowd. As VR is still up and coming, it is now becoming more and more accessible as a platform. This brings new tech and solutions, being able to try these and select the best one for your needs is invaluable. ApertusVR is well thought out and above all, stable and intuitive **What do you dislike about ApertusVR?** It's not a pick up and play experience, and online help in the for of tutorial videos and even forums is limited. If you have some background in developing VR this will help massively, otherwise a complete beginner might want to look elsewhere. Although very intuitive and stable once you get going, the bare bones nature for a new beginner can be quite daunting. Some example set ups or library management would aid this. For now this is on you to set up to you liking, which can also be a bonus if you have a clear methodology already in mind. **Recommendations to others considering ApertusVR:** Feel free to try other alternatives, but this is a fair starting point into opensource VR, and will likely meet your needs **What problems is ApertusVR solving and how is that benefiting you?** Open source all the way, it makes alot of sense business wise to have this freedom, especially for small teams or start ups. We would look at AR / VR solutions by breaking off small teams from the start of the game development pipeline while the main project was in later development. ApertusVR gave us a steady platform to integrate VR into our workflow, and determine if it made sense monetarily and as a business to persue this course of development ### 3. Good option for developing AR/VR apps **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daniel G. | Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2019 **What do you like best about ApertusVR?** The best thing about this software is that it's open-source, this means that you have completely freedom when developing anything from scratch. **What do you dislike about ApertusVR?** The online documentation is limited and there are not so many options for taking tutorials, so it's a bit hard to getting started with this software because there is not so much help online. Another issue is that it doesn't have too much power as other software with the same features such as Vuforia. **Recommendations to others considering ApertusVR:** You really need to have a medium-high knowledge with C++ and/or Javascript, however it seems to be easier with the first language. **What problems is ApertusVR solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm trying to create an AR app that can be implemented in a videogame. The best benefit for using Apertus is that it's open-source. ### 4.
