History

[edit]

Sensorium Corporation was founded in 2018 by billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, former owner of the Brooklyn Nets.[1][5][6] The company developed Sensorium Galaxy, a social virtual reality platform that incorporates social communication tools, graphics, avatars powered by artificial intelligence, and content produced by partner artists and media companies.[1]

Epic Games is a Sensorium partner[5].

Sensorium Corporation has raised over $100 million in private investments since its foundation. The platform is scheduled for public launch in the first half of 2021.[1][5][6]

In April 2020 Yann Pissenem, co-founder of Ushuaïa Ibiza and Hï Ibiza nightclubs, entered into a partnership with Sensorium Corporation to develop artist collaborations for PRISM, a thematic world in Sensorium Galaxy dedicated to electronic music events.[7] Sensorium also signed an agreement with London-based creative studio High Scream to develop the visual concept.[8]

In September 2020, Sensorium Corporation announced DJ David Guetta joined Sensorium Galaxy to host his performances.[9][10][11]

In October 2020 British house and techno record producer and DJ Carl Cox confirmed a collaboration with Sensorium Galaxy to create a series of VR-based DJ sets.[12][13][14][15]

Dutch DJ and producer Armin van Buuren announced a series of performances in Sensorium Galaxy.[16][17][18]
