2017
In a dynamic collaboration supported by the esteemed sponsorship of HTC Vive, Alienware, and Oculus, Gadget-Bot proudly introduced its maiden game, the groundbreaking Kaidro Virtual Reality Experience. This immersive piece acted as a bridge between reality and imagination, seamlessly transporting players into the shoes of a cadet setting foot on the hallowed grounds of the Union of Arms Academy for the very first time.
Notably, during a period when teleportation systems were the norm in the virtual reality domain, Gadget-Bot’s visionary team shattered conventions by pioneering an innovative walking system within the Kaidro VR Experience.

This innovative publication marked the commencement of a remarkable journey into the intricate world of Kaidro, unraveling its multifaceted layers and propelling its significance far beyond the confines of the virtual reality experience.
The Kaidro comic featured several winners from the social media contests, an orchestrated endeavor that ingeniously invited individuals to become integral parts of the comic’s fabric.
