Internet Firm Opens 15,000-SF Virtual Reality Site

SPRING, TX-An Internet technology and entertainment holding company will launch a 15,000-sf virtual reality production facility in Spring, a suburb north of Houston.

John Jarvis, chairman and CEO of Jarvis Entertainment tells GlobeSt.com that the facility is meant to consolidate the assets and restart production for Ferris Qzar and Cm300 Corp., both recently acquired by Jarvis. The Spring facility will spring into action Sept. 10.

The site will be used to produce such virtual reality products as Cobra I & II, Virtual Speedway 300, a fully immersive home system for use with a PC and Qzar laser tag systems. “This is a strategic move to embed Jarvis Entertainment Group as the leader in onsite virtual reality game play and manufacturing,” says Jarvis.

Jarvis says his company is doing well despite the technological melt down because it didn’t get fat quick and hasn’t taken a lot of outside investment dollars. Jarvis says he has retained approximately 90% of the ownership of the operation.

The company also has a 42,000-sf corporate office at 14435 FM 2920 in the nearby northern suburb of Tomball, TX. Jarvis says he plans to take the virtual reality technology he has developed for the gaming industry and apply it to teaching handicapped children.
