Virtual Reality Equipment Hire for Events

Virtual Reality Events South Africa is part of Virtual Reality South Africa, a software development and immersive technology company headquartered in Johannesburg. The team delivers end-to-end virtual reality and augmented reality solutions for events and brand experiences, with reach across major cities including Cape Town, Pretoria and Durban, and a footprint that extends across Africa and internationally. Their work spans VR, AR and extended reality, with a focus on real-time interaction, 360-degree content and spatial computing.

For events, expos and conferences, they design and run interactive VR activations that immerse attendees in premium experiences. These include virtual product launches, team experiences and entertainment-led installations, as well as platforms for virtual conferences and live events enhanced with AR tools. The company supports location-based experiences and metaverse gatherings such as concerts and cinematic showcases, creating memorable touchpoints for audiences at trade shows, roadshows and corporate gatherings. Their approach blends content creation with robust on-site delivery to ensure smooth, high-impact engagements.

The business provides virtual reality equipment for rentals, events and activations, with headset hire and deployment on leading platforms such as HTC Vive and Oculus. Experiences can incorporate advanced haptic feedback for heightened presence, and the team manages the technical integration required for reliable event operations. This rental and activation capability is paired with software and hardware know-how, giving organisers a single partner for both content and the systems that power it.

Custom development is a core capability. They build tailored VR and AR applications, interactive 3D models and web-based experiences to align with brand narratives and training goals. Their production services include 360° video creation, 360 drone photography and Matterport scans, supported by 3D animation and 3D model design. Content can be published and distributed across platforms such as Steam, Google Play, the Apple Store, YouTube 360° and Facebook 360°, enabling both on-site demonstrations and wider digital reach.

Beyond entertainment and brand engagement, the company develops sector-specific training and simulation modules, AR-enhanced educational tools and collaborative virtual workspaces. Marketing and branding solutions range from interactive AR campaigns to virtual showrooms and 3D product visualisation. They support real estate and architectural visualisation, retail and commerce use cases, healthcare simulations, data visualisation and analytics in VR, sports and fitness applications, and travel and exploration content. This breadth allows them to tailor event content to diverse industries and objectives.

The team also works in metaverse development, building persistent virtual worlds and virtual economies that host events and community interactions. Their services extend to integration and API work, ensuring VR and AR solutions connect with existing systems. Remote collaboration support, AR-assisted field guidance and location-based city guides further demonstrate their ability to bridge physical venues and digital layers for hybrid or fully virtual event formats.

Virtual Reality South Africa’s roots reflect long-standing immersion expertise. Founder Gerald Ferreira produced a 360° virtual tour of Klerksdorp in 1995, created a VR software tool in 2002 that s acquired by Anglo American, and in 2014 established the company that would go on to develop proprietary VR glasses, including customised units for the BBC, as well as an in-house 360° video camera. This track record underpins the group’s emphasis on innovation, from computer vision and 3D modelling to robotics and AI applied within immersive environments.

Operating from Johannesburg with delivery across South Africa and into Africa, Virtual Reality Events South Africa combines equipment rental, technical operations and bespoke content production to power experiential events. Whether supporting a trade show, conference, corporate activation or a virtual tour showcase, they align creative development with reliable deployment so organisers can integrate immersive technology into their programmes with confidence.
