Industries across the board have started to embrace the next generation of digital media and there has never been a bigger opportunity for brands to change the way audiences consume and experience content. We are excited to be part of the next stage of innovation for NTT DATA and its clients.”

This announcement builds on recent commercial momentum for the XR Platform following Jaunt’s partnership with Sky, Europe’s leading entertainment company, the first media company to adopt the Jaunt XR Platform for the distribution of their VR content.
