High5VR launches OowOah VR meeting rooms and opens live VR test partner applications

High5VR has launched OowOah VR Meeting Rooms, introduced Quantum Leap and opened applications for the OowOah Live VR Founding Test Partner Programme. The UK company is positioning the new tools as immersive alternatives for business collaboration, training and live event streaming.

Why it matters: - High5VR is betting that immersive VR can replace parts of video conferencing, event streaming and training with shared virtual experiences. - The new products are aimed at businesses, speakers, trainers, coaches and event organisers that want more interactive formats and new revenue options. - OowOah Live VR could let organisers sell VR tickets, expand audience reach and add on-demand recordings as a revenue stream.

What happened: - High5VR launched OowOah VR Meeting Rooms and introduced Quantum Leap. - High5VR also opened applications for the OowOah Live VR Founding Test Partner Programme. - The launch was announced in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom, on July 19, 2026. - High5VR said OowOah VR Meeting Rooms gives businesses an immersive alternative to traditional video conferencing. - Participants join shared virtual spaces as avatars and collaborate using spatial audio, virtual screens and branded meeting rooms. - Quantum Leap is a first-person VR experience that lets viewers see the world through another person’s eyes. - High5VR said OowOah Live VR is in development for broadcasting seminars, conferences, product launches and other live events with professional 180° and 360° VR filming.

The details: - OowOah VR Meeting Rooms includes AI Meeting Notes, private notes emailed after meetings, meeting recording and presentation tools. - The meeting product also supports branded virtual meeting rooms. - Quantum Leap is being positioned for workplace training, property tours, engineering demonstrations, manufacturing, coaching and tourism. - OowOah Live VR is designed for speakers, trainers, coaches and event organisers. - High5VR will supply the professional filming and streaming technology for live immersive events. - The platform is intended to let organisers focus on their event while it is captured and broadcast live in VR. - The live product is designed to support hybrid ticketing, wider global reach, sponsorship opportunities and on-demand recordings. - High5VR describes itself as an award-winning UK immersive technology company focused on VR, AR, AI and professional 180° and 360° productions.

Between the lines: - High5VR is bundling three related products to cover meetings, experiences and live broadcasts rather than launching a single standalone tool. - The strategy suggests the company is trying to make immersive media feel practical for everyday business use, not just novelty use. - Rob Steadman, High5VR chief operating officer, said the company is building tools that help organisations communicate, train and engage audiences in new ways. - High5VR is also inviting early partners into the development process, which may help the company refine the live event product before public launch.

What's next: - Applications remain open for a select group of Founding Test Partners. - Selected partners will work directly with the development team, test new features and deliver live immersive VR events before public launch. - High5VR said OowOah Live VR will move toward a broader rollout after the test partner phase. - More information is available on the company's website.

The bottom line: - High5VR is pushing OowOah as a full immersive communications stack for meetings, training and live events, with early access partners helping shape the next release.
