We are BlackRhino VR!

Founded in 2015, we see ourselves as agents of change accelerating the adoption of immersive technologies in Africa by empowering the youth to be the XR innovators and inventors of the future. As creative technologists, we leverage XR knowledge to expand opportunities for significant socio-economic and cultural growth among the youth that will help create jobs, reduce poverty, and contribute to overcoming our continent’s development challenges.

"Black Rhino has demonstrated not only superior technical ability, but also exceptional intercultural sensitivity in working in the emergency camp contexts where our productions were based Black Rhino demonstrated incredible communication with ourselves and participants of the VR, including refugee women. Black Rhino also provided extra training to refugee women, who have historically been excluded from technological training. They also went out of their way to lead workshops at Kenyatta University with our academic partners".

"We have relied on the expertise of the Black Rhino team to provide cutting edge Virtual and Augmented Reality thought leadership at the annual Electric South lab over the past two years. Furthermore, we have engaged in a co-production agreement with Black Rhino which culminated in the successful creation and release of the VR film "Le Lac", which went on to win Best Digital Narrative at Sheffield Doc/Fest this year. This project would not have been possible without the extraordinary services of Black Rhino. Furthermore, we regularly engage with the Black Rhino team at international festivals, conferences and events, where Black Rhino is a sought-after presence for their production track record and unique positioning in the East African new media marketplace".

"BlackRhino VR has been working with us for the last year to develop a concept which we call Remote Ethnography. It allows companies and organizations to conduct ethnography remotely in distant locations through strong local collaborations and 360 Video and Virtual Reality Technology. BlackRhino VR has been a wonderful partner for exploring the concept. They have gone out of their way to advise us, help us test and develop the concept, and meet our needs and requirements. BlackRhino VR has been providing excellent 360 video and Virtual reality services which are showcased in a final promo film that helps us to take the concept to the next level".
