Matthieu Lorrain (Google), Lafiya Watson Ramirez & Renaud Futterer

Now on September 7th

Moving forward we are calling this meetup Tech Visions NYC (RIP ARKit-NYC). We’ll still be focusing on boundary-pushing XR. We will also be hosting people exploring other creative areas of tech.

tl;dr, same meetup, new name.

Thank you to Snapchat for sponsoring this event and Spatial (https://spatial.io) for hosting!
