May Meetup with Mozilla @ DePaul - Maggie Daley Building
Details
We've got a really exciting lineup in store for May featuring Mozilla's advances in XR! This session is not to be missed. Note that our $5.00 optional fee is being waived this month.
Augmented Reality (AR) is changing the way we interact with the world. AR technology has come a long way and is now coming into its own. It is up to developers, designers, entrepreneurs, scientists, educators, investors, artists, marketers, hackers, journalists, and more to bring the augmented reality experience to the world in innovative and engaging ways. Join us at ARCHI to show off your work, network with the vibrant Chicago community, exchange ideas and hear what others in the AR space are doing around the globe.
