VR NOW Conference 2016 Speaker Line-up
Is VR a revolution? Is it social? The future of eSports? Can it tell stories? Is it dangerous? Can we already make money with it? Creatives all over the world began to imagine immersive spheres. We can explore them by simply using our smartphones. What we see is just early iterations of a medium that will alter the way we experience reality. Now we have to rethink technology, business and creative processes. VR Now Conference speakers and experts share their knowledge about a medium that can be beneficial for so many.
