Improbable is a cloud computing and technology startup based in London, England. It was founded by 2 computer scientists, [[Herman Narula]] and [[Rob Whitehead]], from University of Cambridge. Improbable is developing a platform that enables large scale simulations. It can be used to create a large and seamless world containing many players by allowing for parallelization among large number of machines. Developers can create a simulation that runs on 1 machine then easily scale it with Improbable's technology to numerous machines to create the massive simulated world. | [[Improbable]] is a cloud computing and technology startup based in London, England.

Improbable's technology can be used to create a large [[Virtual Reality]] world with many users simultaneously interacting in it. The idea of [[Metaverse]]s is very popular in [[VR]]. Improbable can help to bring the idea to fruition by building an engine that can drive massive, social VR worlds. | Improbable's technology can be used to create a large [[Virtual Reality]] world with many users simultaneously interacting in it.
