What SpiceVR does

SpiceVR is a Hamburg, Germany-based B2B professional services firm founded in 2015 that produces immersive 360° films and virtual reality content for enterprise clients. The company operates from the VRHQ collaborative workspace at Am Sandtorkai 27-28, 4th floor, Hamburg, alongside VRNERDS, NOYSVR, and SPHERIE, delivering custom VR experiences to clients across maritime (DNV GL), logistics (HHLA), technology (Cisco), scientific research (DESY), and music/entertainment (Robin Schulz with Warner Music, NakedElephant) verticals. Customer engagements are project-based and quote-priced, with no publicly disclosed rate cards or subscription contracts.

The company's core technology stack comprises proprietary spherical 3D camera systems, in-house-developed drone technology for aerial VR capture, custom production and post-production software and workflows, and a studio department dedicated to spatial audio capture, design, and processing. These capabilities are deployed end-to-end within client engagements, positioning SpiceVR as a single-source VR production vendor rather than a coordinator of multiple specialized providers. The studio's work has been recognized with a Best VR Music Video award at VR FEST for the Raspberry Kiss project, demonstrating capability in a narrow but technically demanding niche.

Commercially, SpiceVR runs an enterprise field-sales motion supplemented by an organic social media presence across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, and a website portfolio of case studies serving as the primary demonstration of capabilities. The company is privately held under the legal entity Nicolas Chibac Filmproduktion, with no disclosed venture capital, institutional investment, funding rounds, or revenue figures in the source material. No AI/ML capabilities, API offerings, mobile applications, or productized SaaS revenue streams are present — the business is fundamentally a creative services studio built around specialized VR capture and post-production capability, with no apparent move toward productization or platform economics.
