Whirligig Commercial Licensing

Put VR to work. The proper way.

Whirligig is the go-to VR media player for professionals. Whether you're running an arcade, a museum installation, a gallery exhibition, or a corporate training suite — you need a commercial licence for any use outside the home.

The good news? It's still Whirligig. Same player, same features, same updates. Just licensed for the real world.

Who needs a commercial licence?

If Whirligig is being used in any professional, public-facing, or institutional context, you need a commercial licence per headset. That includes:

  • VR arcades and location-based entertainment venues

  • Museums, art galleries, and heritage sites

  • Exhibitions, trade shows, and film festivals

  • Corporate presentations, product demos, and showrooms

  • Staff training and safety induction programmes

  • Universities, schools, and educational institutions

  • Film and video production review suites

If you're not sure whether your use case counts, just ask.

What you get

A commercial licence is the full Whirligig experience — nothing locked, nothing watered down. Every feature available to home users is available to you.

Massive format support — MKV, MP4, AVI, MTS and more via the VLC-based pipeline. If VLC plays it, Whirligig plays it.

360° and 180° video — Equirectangular, fisheye, VR180, dome projection. All the formats your content creators are working in.

Stereo 3D — Side-by-side, top/bottom, anaglyph. Proper stereoscopic playback, correctly.

Network streaming — Play directly from a NAS, Plex server, or SMB share on your local network. No SD card juggling, no re-encoding, no faff.

Dolby and DTS passthrough — Bit-perfect audio when connected to a compatible receiver.

Playlist and loop support — Queue a full programme and leave it running. Essential for unattended or kiosk-style installations.

Multi-platform — Meta Quest 2, 3 and Pro, Pico 4, Pimax Crystal, and PC VR via Steam. One player for your whole fleet, whatever the hardware mix.

All updates included — No recurring fees. Buy once, keep forever.

Whirligig Remote

One operator. Many headsets.

Whirligig Remote lets you control every headset in your setup from a single PC or Android phone — without anyone touching the headsets themselves.

Start, stop, pause, seek, and switch content across your entire fleet from one screen. Perfect for museums and galleries where a single staff member needs to manage multiple simultaneous viewers, or anywhere you need a clean, hands-off visitor experience.

Works over your existing Wi-Fi. No specialist hardware required.
