TimeLooper builds geofenced virtual reality experiences for tourists, delivering highly visual narratives of historical events tied to specific locations. The service uses the Google Cardboard smartphone VR platform and requires users to be at the geographic location to access the content. The company previously built content for London and launched services in New York City at sites including Times Square, Top of the Rock, Empire State Building, Federal Hall and the Dakota. TimeLooper positions itself as a modern replacement for museum audio tours and aims to “collect the most amazing moments in history,” according to COO Andrew Feinberg. It operates as a one-stop shop, producing VR content in-house and targeting tourists at the point of purchase. The company is using the $2 million it raised from Rothenberg Ventures earlier this year to seek customers and produce VR content in-house.
