02/05/2025 – About the Topic

To start off 2025 we’re taking a step back to host a couple more general programs alongside our expert-led discussions on immersive technology hardware and industry applications. Join us on February 5, 2025 for The Next Evolution: How to Make Immersive Content.
This program will feature insights from experts in the immersive tech space, covering essential topics such as creating assets that become the building blocks for immersive experiences, exploring viable platforms for building these assets, and selecting the best platforms or methods for delivering your creation to audiences. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding and skills in immersive content creation!
We are also looking for more people to come and share what they are working on as demonstrations in the space, please reach out!
