what the community thinks

why chicago

Chicago is at the center of several industries that are already driving the growth of immersive technology adoption.

Chicago is home to many of the best medical, business, and technology research institutions in the world.

Chicago is where 1871, the worlds #1 private business incubator, fosters entrepreneurship, and our city hosts the most profitable venture investment environment in the world.

Business is going to drive the adoption of augmented and virtual reality. Immersive technology is disrupting established industries both from the ground up, and the top down. Combine all of the above with the hardest working, most inclusive and diverse workforce, and the lowest cost of living of any major city in the United States, and it’s clear to see why Chicago is leading the way.
