Leading immersive live events platform VRJAM today unveiled an exciting new project to empower artists to perform live in the metaverse, powered by the world's no. 1 game developer, Epic Games.

Epic Games have supported VRJAM's work on this revolutionary project by way of an 'Epic Megagrant', made available to the company to help power the development of a software solution to activate live performances inside 3D graphical apps and games, thus enabling VRJAM's live event tech to be accessed by developers and app publishers using Epic's own 'Unreal Engine' software development platform. Other recipients of financial support from the Epic Megarants fund include industry leaders Pixar Studios, Cambridge University, and The Jim Henson Company.

VRJAM's cooperation with Epic Games follows VRJAM's recent announcements of partnerships with major companies and brands, such as interactive metaverse concert streamer Animal Concerts, Ethereum scaling blockchain protocol Polygon, and Martian 3D mapping company Mars4.
