Taiwan VR Meetup Symposium for August 2020

We have a new TAIWAN VIRTUAL REALITY MEETUP scheduled for Saturday, August 1, 2020; we begin at 2:30pm and end by 5:30pm or so or earlier. This is a very special session.

This special session is a VIRTUAL REALITY SYMPOSIUM and it’s looking to be amazing.

Next TAIWAN VIRTUAL REALITY MEETUP for 2020 will be August 1, see https://www.meetup.com/taiwanvirtualreality/events/271413010 for meetup details. This is a symposium to be held at the Center for Education in Medical Simulation at Taipei Medical University's Daan Campus. You need to have ID and wear a mask to get into the building. You should mention you are going to CEMS on the 8th floor. The building has public parking (paid) in the basement.

It has been awhile . . . too long . . . since our last in person session of the TAIWAN VIRTUAL REALITY MEETUP . . . so, folks will be encouraged to know that we are finally starting back up with actual in-person sessions with real human interaction. During the pandemic, we did have a couple in-Virtual-Reality sessions but we have missed the in-Reality contacts. So, here we go!

NOTE: We have a VERY SPECIAL VENUE for this MONTH'S MEETUP. We are meeting at the CENTER FOR EDUCATION IN MEDICAL SIMULATION Taipei Medical University’s Daan Campus. It is the eighth floor of the building.

These meetups are conducted in ENGLISH.

No, you do NOT need to have any previous experience with Virtual Reality to attend.
