Founded in 2014, we are a global team of developers passionate about virtual reality.

A Bigscreen all-hands meeting at the Los Angeles office

We build virtual reality software and hardware for VR enthusiasts who enjoy PC gaming and entertainment. Our products also enable businesses using VR for humanoid robotics, aerospace, motorsports, healthcare, and more.

In 2019, we partnered with major movie studios such as Paramount Pictures and Sony Pictures’ Funimation to bring 3D movies into VR. In 2023, we launched Bigscreen Beyond, the world’s smallest VR headset, with ultra-high resolution displays and cutting-edge optics. Ultimately, to deliver the best VR software experiences, we also had to build the best VR hardware.

Bigscreen has over 6 million users with software on all major VR headsets on Steam and Meta Quest, and we’ve launched multiple hardware products. Since 2023, we’ve shipped 50,000+ orders to customers in 50+ countries around the world.

Bigscreen was founded in 2014 by CEO Darshan Shankar, and is backed by venture capital firms True Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz. Bigscreen is a remote team distributed across 6 countries, with offices in Los Angeles, California.

Remote from day one. A team across 11 cities, headquartered in Los Angeles.
