Devnology Podcast 036 - CleVR

Devnology Podcast

This is another episode in our series of interviews with technical startups, this time featuring an interview with Guntur Sandino, founder and CEO of CleVR. This company is building VRET (Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy) systems, which are used to help people deal with anxieties such as fear of flying, fear of heights or claustrophobia or psychotic disorders, such as paranoia. We talk about some of the technical details of building these systems, and about the business challenges involved in creating a company around the developed products.

This interview was recorded on the 18th of Dec 2012 at Yes!Delft.
