VRTO returns to the heart of Toronto this summer, with amazing events including Video Games Month, FIFA, and many other incredible opportunities to meet folks and level up. What VRTO does best is bring you face-to-face with the doers, designers, makers, outside-the-box thinkers, and opportunities. With a third day added to the 2026 schedule, you can pick up a full conference pass or a 1-day pass for any of the three days. Or if you are more interested in the exhibits, a casual roam, and socializing, consider the economical wristband pass, which also gives you access to the second stage, where you will find interesting and actionable presentations on a variety of topics. Whatever the case may be, we love to see the whole community come together from near and far to exchange the latest on all things related to the new spatial media. This includes virtual production, avatars and virtual embodiment, generative AI and pair programming discussions from all sides, pedagogy and enterprise training, game and experience development, virtual and augmented reality, volumetric capture, and much more. There are few shows as dedicated to these specialized disciplines as VRTO, and you can enjoy it at an easy-to-reach central location. This event is presented here for community interest and meetup purposes. A ticket to the event must be purchased to gain [admission at Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vrto-2026-spatial-media-world-conference-expo-tickets-1981067584474?aff=ebdsoporgprofile) All the info you need will be posted at https://conference.virtualreality.to, and we can't wait to see you at this very special event.

**🐾 Meetup Event: Explore the Toronto Zoo with Nick! 🐾** Join us for an unforgettable day at the world-famous [Toronto Zoo](https://www.torontozoo.com/plan) on **Saturday, June 27**! Home to over 5,000 animals from around the globe, the Toronto Zoo is one of the largest zoos in the world—and what makes it truly unique is its **geographic layout**. Instead of grouping animals by species, the zoo is divided into regions like the African Savanna, Indo-Malaya, and the beloved **Canadian Domain**, where animals roam in habitats that closely mirror their natural environments. It’s immersive, educational, and a ton of fun to explore. *** **📍 Meetup Details** * **Time:** 10:00 AM * **Location:** Inside the zoo, just past the admission gates * **Look for:** Nick with the Meetup sign * All registered attendees will have Nick’s phone number in case you need help finding the group *** **🚶‍♂️ What to Expect** This is a **walking-heavy event**, so come prepared! One highlight (and workout!) is the **long hill down into the Canadian Domain**—totally worth it, but definitely wear your best walking shoes. Nick has been visiting the zoo since childhood and loves sharing its magic with others. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, you’ll see it through fresh eyes. *** **🥪 Food Plans** Feel free to **bring a lunch** or purchase food onsite—we’ll stop to eat together at one of the zoo’s restaurants. *** **🌦️ Rain or Shine** The event runs regardless of weather, so **dress accordingly**. *** **⏰ Wrap-Up** We’ll likely wrap up around **3:30 PM**, but you’re always free to leave whenever you like. *** **🎟️ Bonus Tip** If you have a PRESTO card, you can get **15% off admission**—don’t forget to bring it! Check the deal here: [https://prestocard.ca/en/perks-offers/perks](https://prestocard.ca/en/perks-offers/perks) *** **🙌 Drop-Ins Welcome** Not sure of your schedule?

🎬 Let’s Go to the Movies (and Actually Talk… or Not) Whether you're a film nerd, popcorn enthusiast, or just looking for a chill night out with interesting people — this one's for you. We’re heading out to see a movie together, then grabbing food or drinks after. If the film's great (or terrible), we’ll probably talk about it forever. If it’s just okay, we’ll talk about it for 10 minutes and move on to everything else — books, dating apps, weird dreams, how Toronto keeps getting more expensive, etc. The vibe is relaxed, friendly, and not too serious. No film degree needed. No icebreakers. No pressure to “perform.” Just come enjoy the film, connect with some thoughtful people, and see where the night goes Click here to watch trailer! 🎞️ **Movie Title + Trailer:** [\[Click here to watch trailer!\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1-pfiVMKAs) 📖 **📖 Plot Summary:** Kara Zor-El is sent to Earth by her parents to be raised by her cousin Kal-El, known as Superman.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

Do **NOT** sign up to this one and sign-up at https://www.meetup.com/columbusjs/events/313386504/ ======================================= A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture. This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape. Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds. Food and drinks will be available. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
