Hands On Demo Day for Virtual and Augmented Reality Hardware

What's Happening:
We are currently looking for a food and beverage sponsor but rest assured, pizza and beverages will be provided. The topic this month is Hands On. This is the day for you to try out equipment and experiences and see what it's like. We'll have a number of teams presenting virtual and augmented reality equipment for you to try, and answering any questions you have about using them. We're working on booking more demonstrations between now and the day of the event, and everything under the "Tentative" list means we've started the discussion.

What's The Format:
The format for Hands On is a bit different from our normal MeetUp. There is no panel. Tonight is about networking and experiences. Listed below are the confirmed and tentative experiences we'll be presenting. Every one of the demonstration presenters can speak to the capabilities of the technology they're presenting, so be ready to try it out and then bring your questions.

Confirmed Demonstrations:
HTC Vive - Reality Bytes
HTC Vive Pro - Studio inHaus
Meta2: Gareth Davies - Origin Development & IT
Microsoft HoloLens - EX3 Labs
Mobile AR: Zach Martin - Bundlar
Oculus Go: Scott Lynch - VOYRE
