His professional focus has been on creating immersive digital environments that combine gaming elements with social experiences. Dobruský has been instrumental in developing Victoria VR as a decentralized [metaverse](https://iq.wiki/wiki/metaverse) that aims to provide users with realistic graphics and an expansive virtual world where they can build, explore, and interact.\n\n[Victoria VR](https://iq.wiki/wiki/victoria-vr), co-founded by Dobruský and Adam Bém in 2018, represents the culmination of Dobruský's long-term vision to create a virtual reality platform that transcends traditional gaming experiences. The project combines [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) technology with virtual reality to create a decentralized [metaverse](https://iq.wiki/wiki/metaverse) where users can own digital assets and participate in a virtual economy. Under Dobruský's leadership, Victoria VR has grown from a small startup to a significant player in the metaverse space.\n\n## Career\n\n### Early Career and Founding of Victoria VR\n\nOndřej Dobruský's career in technology and virtual reality development led to the founding of [Victoria VR](https://iq.wiki/wiki/victoria-vr) in 2018, alongside co-founder Adam Bém. The two entrepreneurs started the company in a small 20-square-meter office, working tirelessly to bring their vision to life. Their initial goal was inspired by concepts from science fiction, particularly the virtual world depicted in the film \"Ready Player One.\"\n\nRegarding the inception of [Victoria VR](https://iq.wiki/wiki/victoria-vr), Dobruský has stated: \"I have been planning this project practically my whole life. I wanted to create a game that is not just a game — to think further, remove constraints, and focus on the unlimited possibilities that can be created. I wanted [Victoria VR](https://iq.wiki/wiki/victoria-vr) to combine the best parts of revolutionary games, the craziest thoughts and ideas from literature and movies, and our own game mechanics, algorithmic solutions, and ideas embedded in realistic virtual reality. [Victoria VR](https://iq.wiki/wiki/victoria-vr) is my life's work.\" [[1]](#cite-id-iGfROyXsO6)\n\n### Growth and Development of Victoria VR\n\nUnder Dobruský's leadership, [Victoria VR](https://iq.wiki/wiki/victoria-vr) has expanded significantly since its founding. What began as a two-person operation has grown to include over 80 in-house developers as of 2022, many with extensive experience in the gaming industry. This team growth has enabled the company to advance its technological capabilities and move closer to realizing Dobruský's vision of a fully immersive [metaverse](https://iq.wiki/wiki/metaverse).\n\nThe company has focused on developing a [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain)-based virtual reality platform that combines massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) elements with social experiences. [Victoria VR](https://iq.wiki/wiki/victoria-vr) utilizes Unreal Engine to create realistic graphics and immersive environments where users can engage in various activities, from gaming to virtual business ventures [[1]](#cite-id-iGfROyXsO6).\n\n### Recent Developments\n\nIn recent years, Dobruský has overseen significant technological advancements at [Victoria VR](https://iq.wiki/wiki/victoria-vr), including the transition from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5, which has enhanced the visual quality and performance of the platform. The company has also introduced innovative features such as the VR AI Builder, which aims to revolutionize content creation in virtual reality environments.\n\nIn 2022, [Victoria VR](https://iq.wiki/wiki/victoria-vr) launched its Alpha Access program, marking a significant milestone in the project's development. This initiative allowed select users to experience the [metaverse](https://iq.wiki/wiki/metaverse) and provide feedback to help shape its future development.

The platform incorporates [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) technology to enable digital ownership and a virtual economy. Victoria VR uses realistic graphics powered by Unreal Engine to create immersive environments where users can build, explore, and interact.\n\nA key aspect of Dobruský's vision is the creation of a self-sustaining virtual world. He has described [Victoria VR](https://iq.wiki/wiki/victoria-vr) as a platform that \"will be able to live its own life even without us, its creators\" through algorithmic systems for creating quests and content.\n\n## Partnerships and Ecosystem Development\n\nUnder Dobruský's leadership, [Victoria VR](https://iq.wiki/wiki/victoria-vr) has developed various applications and partnerships to expand its ecosystem.
