How much does a VR Development Cost?

VR app development cost highly depends on the type of content you want to create. It could be anything from creatings simple games, business, learning, healthcare, VR tour to complex CG-based VR environment. Obviously, the scale and complexity of the application will decide the total cost of development.

Let us simplify the breakups of the cost involved in designing and developing VR applications:

The reputation of production agency

Definitely, if the production agency is experienced one & possesses an expert team of professionals, they will charge more money for rendering the services. And their expertise surely affects your planned budget, but on the other hand, you will be getting better quality. The point is to make sure after paying a handsome VR app development cost, you are offered the highest services.

Location of Developers 

It is practical to take location factors into account while choosing a VR development company or deciding the budget. Developers from a high living standard city or country may ask for more than a reasonable sum. So finding a company with the same expertise and experience in a similar town is not a tough task. 

If you have a limited budget, then choose specialists that have a moderate price and high level of work. We advise hiring a Singaporean team as they are very knowledgeable about IT technologies and hold expertise in developing outstanding VR work. And also, they may have a comparatively low cost of VR app development.

Complexity of VR Application

The development of VR applications needs highly professional skills and not all developers can create complex and seamless VR software. Let us explore more the complexity of designing 3D models:

Simple VR applications– These apps are elementary tools or games that require three to five weeks of time in design & development.

Moderate complexity– Developing a VR app for like retail business or online store has a moderately complex level, may complete in four to six months.

Highly complex Applications– The level of difficulty involved in designing a VR film or military project or a VR tour may take a year or more.

There are several stages involved in the development of VR applications and 3D models. It would be reasonable to show these stages to get more insights about the same:

1. Market Research
2. Project Documentation
3. Prototyping
4. Designing
5. Programming
6. Testing
7. App Release
