I don't know much about Improbable but from what I've read they shouldn't be viewed as VR firm, simply you could use their technology to create a massive virtual world that you could then explore using VR. I think the media (and maybe Improbable's PR) just likes to go with the VR angle as it's a recognised, understood term
The product is 'Spatial OS'. Want to build a massive simulation of various agents interacting in different ways than cannot possibly fit on a single server? That's where 'Spatial OS' comes in.
Interesting blog post here: https://improbable.io/2016/03/24/what-we-found-when-we-simul... a couple of people from the UK government visit improbable for 3 days, successfully build a detailed simulation of the internet (at the routing level, so simulating all routers involved in BGP). Looks pretty impressive.
