Welcome to the new Mobile North East meetup group - don't we look great?!
We'd love it if you could join us for a special relaunch event on Monday 13th February.
This meetup will be on the hot topic of Virtual Reality with Shaun Allan from hedgehog lab (https://hedgehoglab.com/). We will be discussing how the democratisation of VR is upon us and will be delivered by mobile.
There will also be the chance to immerse yourself in VR, with demos of Google Daydream, Samsung Gear VR and HTC Vive.
As usual, refreshments will be provided as well as some other freebies to celebrate our relaunch.
Looking forward to seeing you all!
