“We are truly at the edge of blurring where “reality” ends and “virtual reality” begins. VR headset creators have given us the ability to immerse the user visually. Now, it is time to utilize the next generation of interaction tools to make the most immersive VR experience possible. These tools range from 3D body tracking, hand tracking, finger tracking, voice control and even brainwave controls. Let’s jump-start this new era of entertainment together, with Global Archiact Jam!”
