About Us
We are part of the frameless media revolution. We believe VR, AR and XR will change human communications. These technologies can deeply affect our brains, our emotions, and our overall perception of the world and each other.
We build the future of human connections without borders or walls. We don’t see our products as limited to one market or another. We think and create, we live beyond any boundaries or frames.
We fight fears and we’re not afraid to do things differently. We’re not afraid to go against the stream. We choose Less, not More.

From October - December 2022, Less Media Group organized VR Festival Digital Autumn: Sensations. For the first time, the festival took place in three countries: from October 21st to November 6th, 9 award-winning narrative VR works from 6 countries were shown in Almaty, Kazakhstan and in Moscow, Russia. From December 9th to 11th, the festival took place in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
VR is a new medium for arts and emotional explorations. Every immersive project selected for display during the festival has a strong emotional story that triggers a Sensation, a feeling, a state of mind. Joy and laughter, sorrow and tears, peace and oneness – Sensations can be different, but what is important is our ability to experience those Sensations, to feel and empathize with each other and with the world around us.
VR projects included in the program received multiple awards, including Best VR film at Venice International Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival Storyscapes Award, and Peabody Legacy Award.
