About Heillcaser

Pioneering virtual travel and extreme experiences through innovative VR technology

Heillcaser VR Experience

Our Story

Heillcaser was founded in 2021 with a simple yet ambitious mission: to make extraordinary travel experiences and extreme adventures accessible to everyone, regardless of physical limitations, financial constraints, or environmental concerns.

What began as a small startup with a single VR station in Cambridge has grown into a global leader in virtual reality experiences, with partnerships across six continents and a dedicated community of virtual explorers.

Our name, Heillcaser, combines elements from Old Norse "heill" (meaning whole or complete) and "case" (a container or situation) – representing our goal to create complete, immersive experiences that transport users to new realities.

Today, we're proud to be at the forefront of the VR travel revolution, constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in virtual experiences while maintaining our commitment to accessibility, education, and environmental sustainability.
