1st Meetup - The Dawn of Consumer Virtual Reality

Join us for the SVVR kick-off meetup!

This is an important moment in the history of virtual reality. For decades VR has been available only to high-budget research laboratories. But that is changing quickly. True immersive VR is finally making its way into the hands-and homes-of early adopters. This past month has seen the release of the developer version of the first serious consumer-priced VR head-mounted display, the Oculus Rift.

Come and meet fellow VR enthusiasts, experimenters, and developers, and let's help each other explore this fascinating new frontier together.

We expect to have several speakers, with plenty of time for demos, show and tell, etc.

Confirmed Speakers:

Karl Krantz - (SVVR Organizer) Introduction and vision for SVVR Cymatic Bruce - (Cymatic Software) VR developer, experimenter and video blogger MakeVR - Sixense will demonstrate their upcoming 3D modeling application with native Oculus Rift and Razer Hydra support If you have a project that you would like to share with the group, or a topic you would like to speak about, please contact Karl Krantz.

If you have an Oculus Rift or have any other interesting VR hardware or software to share, please consider bringing it along for the demo and show and tell portion of the event.

Doors open at 6:30PM, speakers start at 7:00.
