Final Update!

Only one more day and the 1st Dutch VR meetup is a go! Tomorrow a whopping 18(!) developers are contributing by demoing their stuff! Just to name a few more; the guys from WeMakeVR (http://www.wemakevr.com/) and Manus-Machinae (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/606955275/manus-machinae-be-part-of-the-machine), Daniel Ernst (http://www.theshoeboxdiorama.com), Darius, Daan Kortenbach and much much more! Plus we are very lucky to have quite a few DK2s present as well, so join the fun and lets explore virtual reality together this afternoon!

Help us out with:

- If unfortunately you can’t make it anymore could you take a moment to unRSVP?
- Make sure to have some lunch before you arrive, don’t have a lot of food present (enough water to last a lifetime though!)
- When tweeting at the meetup tomorrow could you include #dutchvrmeetup

Really looking forward to meeting you all and having an awesome meetup together!

----------------------------------------------------------------

The general idea is to get together a group of VR enthusiasts to share ideas, demo stuff we've been working on and show the world how awesome VR will be. We are currently talking to- and meeting with developers who'd like to contribute by demoing, so let us know if you have something to show as well!

Besides the demo's there will be more stuff on the agenda, like a big brainstorm session and various inspirational speakers to talk about the impact and future of VR. We'll make sure to fold some Google cardboard headsets as well (https://developers.google.com/cardboard/).

Wim is looking into the Durovis Dive, developing a 3D builder and a viewer and hopes to be able to share this with us at the meetup.

Samir is working on virtual interiors using 360 photos and videos, so you can virtually visit houses available on the market and get an impression as a potential buyer.

If you want to know more about any of these demo's don't hesitate to open a discussion at the group discussion page and start asking questions!
