We're back! With three demos for you to try, we're running an informal mixer event to bring immersive enthusiasts from Manchester and beyond together again.

Demo details
Exit Suit: Performance Suit for VR
EXIT SUIT is a full-body support that lets you move in amazing ways. With an open-source design and eye-catching aesthethic, you're going to want to try it.

VR CPR, Health on Cloud
CPR is often taught in classrooms, but when under pressure, this learning can be easily forgotten. Health on Cloud's solution redefines CPR training by putting you in a dramatic VR simulation, using the latest gamification and narrative techniques straight from leading action video games. Guided by an expert NPC and utilising a cutting edge, digitally enabled CPR mannequin, you get to step up and take action - can you save Dave?!

Open Blocks, Icosa Foundation
When Google ended support for Tilt Brush and Blocks, we were all sad. Then the Icosa Foundation was born and resurrected them as Open Source projects, and there was much rejoicing! Blocks lets you easily create 3D objects in virtual reality, no matter your modelling experience.
