Skyreal VR: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Skyreal VR is software that turns CAD files into virtual-reality sessions for engineering teams. Files imported from a PLM system become a shared workspace in which several people hold a design review at the same time, with annotations, measurements and a product tree. Changes can be synced back to the original CAD data (Back to CAD). The software runs on the Unreal Engine and works with PC-connected VR headsets, including SteamVR and OpenXR devices and Meta Quest. APIs allow integrations and custom extensions.

Skyreal VR is a product of SKR Technologies, a company with its office in Paris, France; the terms of its website are governed by French law. The vendor's site names no foreign parent company. The software runs on the customer's own workstations. The accompanying XR Center platform for model data and licences is described as available in the cloud, on-premises or air-gapped, so data can stay within the organisation's own infrastructure. The site does not state where cloud-hosted data is located, so ask the vendor.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Skyreal VR

Skyreal VR is headquartered in France and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Skyreal VR runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

Skyreal VR is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Skyreal VR together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
