The core of the business is to explore VR/AR technology and find its true value by working together with other companies and sharing the knowledge along the way.
The Inspiring Journey of the Founders
Khora was founded by an innovative entrepreneur Simon Max Bloch Lajboschitz and VR producer Peter Fisher. The idea of diving into this business came after Simon watched a mini-documentary, ‘Clouds over Sidra 360’ video in New York. It was an intense and fully engaging experience that really impressed him. So he came back to Denmark, talked to his co-partner Peter, who had been working with VR productions for a few years, and they decided to start Khora together. The major challenge faced during the inception was to understand the technological capabilities and the limits of VR/AR.  Being constantly up-to-date on the tech side helped them along the way. So, the key attribute was to keep close communication with experts coming from a technological background and being an active member in the VR/AR community.

Khora is the only commercial partner involved in a research project run by the scientists from the Capital Region of Denmark, who is presently conducting the world’s largest clinical trial for VR as an exposure therapy treatment tool.

It is also common to use virtual reality in onboarding and training staff, which again, decreases the time and resources used compared to the traditional training process.

Company’s Next Move for More Progress
Khora has been rapidly growing throughout the last years since its establishment, and at the moment the company is looking for further expansion in other industries as well, especially within healthcare, psychiatry, and markets abroad. Khora works with the art projects closely and according to them, there is more potentiality in art because they see the dramatic increase of interest in VR as a medium for Art. In general, VR/AR technology has technically matured and at this point, there are countless opportunities for VR/AR implementation basically in any industry. However, there is one big obstacle to reaching the mass consumer market. But the whole industry will change when VR headsets become as common as cell phones, TVs, and computers.
