You might be asking, "what does VR/AR and politics have in common." In honor of the 2016 US Presidential Election, we will have content focused on how virtual reality is being used for purposes like documentary film making, recordings of presidential debates, and as a way to influence people's understandings of the world.
At the Meetup we will have content curated from the likes of RYOT and Huffington Post to show how VR is being used as a form of journalism to spread awareness about environmental issues, an experience that shows how it feels to be in solitary confinement courtesy, while also have recording of the Republican and Democratic Presidential Debates.
In addition, we will be having Hayo present. Hayo is a unique product that is a combination of Augmented Reality and IoT that allows people to create virtual remote controls within ones own home.
