Cavrnus

What Cavrnus does

Cavrnus, Inc. is a private software company headquartered in Carlsbad, California, that provides a real-time collaboration platform purpose-built for 3D applications. Its core offering, the Cavrnus Spatial Connector (CSC), is a drag-and-drop plugin for Unity and Unreal Engine that adds multi-user copresence, object synchronization, embedded WebRTC-powered voice and video, and a persistent state layer called 'The Journal' — a server-side, time-logged synchronization system that records every interaction and enables version history and session restoration. The platform extends beyond native 3D engines through .NET and JavaScript Web Connectors for browser-based experiences and supports deployment on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, AR/VR/XR devices, and visionOS for Apple Vision Pro.

The product surface also includes AI-driven capabilities: a Cavrnus MCP Server that allows AI agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google to participate in 3D sessions, and AI-powered live transcription and translation in over 50 languages. Complementary products include the Cavrnus Collab Viewer (a ready-made Unreal Engine project template), the Cavrnus Management Console (web-based administration and Space Analyzer), and integrations with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Slack, and Microsoft Teams.

Cavrnus monetizes through a tiered subscription model: a free tier for evaluation and small teams (up to 5 concurrent users), a Pro tier at $80/month billed annually ($960/year) with 10 concurrent users and $8/user/month overages, and a quote-based Enterprise tier with on-premises deployment, SSO, white-label, and unlimited team members. Go-to-market is product-led via free downloads on the Unity Asset Store and Epic Games' Fab marketplace plus self-serve sign-up at console.cavrn.us, layered with a Calendly-driven enterprise sales motion. Target segments span architecture/engineering/construction, product configurators, connected digital twins, training and simulations, the industrial metaverse, and XR developers. Named customers and ecosystem relationships include Theia, IDEA, and VeVe, alongside prominent logos such as Unity, Epic Games, Meta, Nvidia, AWS Activate, Lenovo, Qualcomm, Magic Leap, and Innoactive. The company was founded in 2015, employs 11–50 people, and has disclosed Galaxy Interactive as an investor from a late-2020 funding round.

Core offering

Cavrnus provides a real-time multi-user collaboration platform delivered as drag-and-drop plugins (the Cavrnus Spatial Connector) for Unity and Unreal Engine, plus web SDKs for .NET and JavaScript. The platform adds avatars, object synchronization, persistent sessions, voice/video conferencing, AI transcription and translation, and AI-agent participation to existing 3D applications without requiring custom networking code. It is sold via freemium and tiered SaaS subscriptions with optional on-premises enterprise deployment.

Product overview

Cavrnus is a collaboration platform for 3D experiences that provides a unified platform with multiple product modules. The core offering is the Cavrnus Spatial Connector (CSC) plugin, available separately for Unity and Unreal Engine, which enables instant multi-user copresence, voice/video conferencing, and object synchronization without coding. The Cavrnus Collab Viewer is a ready-made Unreal Engine project template for instant collaboration. The platform extends to web via .NET and JavaScript connectors, and includes AI capabilities through the MCP Server for AI agent participation. Key features include The Journal for persistent session history, the Management Console for administration, Live Transcription & Translation for multi-language support, and visionOS support for Apple Vision Pro. All components share the same underlying Journal architecture for real-time sync and persistence.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• ENGAGE XR (ENGAGE): ENGAGE is a VR/AR collaboration platform for enterprise meetings, training, and education with multi-user virtual spaces. It is a direct peer on the virtual-event and training-collaboration side of Cavrnus’ offering, though distributed as a standalone platform.
• Glue Collaboration: Glue provides collaborative virtual 3D spaces for distributed enterprise teams, with a similar use-case profile (AEC, product design, training). It is a direct peer in collaborative 3D spaces but is delivered as a standalone platform rather than as a plugin to an existing engine.
• Improbable (SpatialOS / Metaverse Services): SpatialOS is a multiplayer backend for large-scale 3D worlds, historically focused on gaming and now pivoting toward enterprise metaverse. It directly overlaps Cavrnus on multi-user 3D persistence and real-time sync, but with a custom-engine approach rather than Unity/Unreal plugins.

Emerging players

• Strivr: Strivr builds immersive VR training and learning experiences for enterprise, often on top of Unity/Unreal. It overlaps with Cavrnus’ training use case but is a content-and-program provider rather than an underlying collaboration infrastructure play.
• Arthur (XR collaboration): Arthur focuses on collaborative XR experiences for enterprise productivity, with shared 3D spaces and meeting-style workflows. It overlaps with Cavrnus on XR multi-user collaboration but is more application-centric and less engine-plugin-oriented.
• Tandem (collaborative 3D design): Tandem offers real-time multiplayer collaboration inside 3D design tools (notably Spline). It is comparable on the collaboration-in-3D axis and on a similar PLG/marketplace GTM, but is tied to a specific design tool rather than Unity or Unreal.

Regional players

• Mursion: Mursion delivers AI- and VR-driven training simulations with role-play scenarios for soft-skill and corporate training. It overlaps with Cavrnus’ Training & Simulations segment but is purpose-built for training delivery rather than a general-purpose collaboration layer.

Broad incumbents

• Epic Games (Unreal Engine replication & Pixel Streaming): Unreal Engine ships built-in replication networking and Pixel Streaming, the same multi-user and streaming primitives Cavrnus wraps. As Cavrnus’ other core platform partner, Epic is both a distribution channel (via Fab) and a potential substitute if it expands built-in collaboration tooling.
• NVIDIA (Omniverse): Nvidia Omniverse is a platform for collaborative 3D design, simulation, and digital twins with native multi-user workflows. It competes head-on with Cavrnus in enterprise digital-twin and AEC use cases, but is bundled with Nvidia’s hardware and broader AI stack rather than focused on Unity/Unreal plugin delivery.
• Unity (Multiplayer Services / Netcode for GameObjects): Unity’s own multiplayer/networking stack and Multiplayer Services provide the same multi-user capabilities that Cavrnus sells as a plugin. As the engine owner, Unity can bundle these features natively, making it the most consequential competitive threat to Cavrnus on its primary platform.
