We’re excited to announce that Cymatic Bruce, the legendary VR Vlogger and Emcee of the Silicon Valley Virtual Reality meetup (SVVR), is partnering with Road to VR.

“Face of VR” Joins Road to VR

Hot on the heels of our recent news that Reverend Kyle was joining us here at Road to VR, another VR community heavyweight has agreed to bring his unique talents to the Road to VR website.

Those of you who have been part of the VR community for some time will of course recognise the name. Cymatic Bruce has been serving his video musings on virtual reality to the world since the birth of the Oculus Rift. He’s renowned for his honest, informative but above all enthusiastic YouTube reports on everything VR. Having produced countless videos championing everything from early developer concepts to commercial releases, his easy going style has helped introduce VR to the masses.

Here’s an excerpt from his Bio:

Based in Silicon Valley, Bruce has been a gaming and science geek for as long as he can remember. Gaming has always been near the center of both his personal and professional lives, from playing blackjack on the Fairchild Channel F to writing video game design curriculum for summer campers today. Bruce was captivated by VR in his teens due to his love of science fiction books, movies, and TV shows. The reemergence of VR via the Oculus Rift inspired him to jump back into game development and share his progress with the world. That decision has spiraled into a position as a VR Evangelist and community organizer, earning him the nickname “Face of VR.” Bruce hopes to inspire a generation of VR developers through publishing videos, broadcasting live streams, and co-organizing meetups like Silicon Valley Virtual Reality. Partnered with Road to VR, Bruce will continue to bring quality media content on the latest VR experiences. He looks forward to sharing his enthusiasm with Road to VR readers as this revolutionary industry matures and blossoms.

We’re very happy to welcome Bruce to the team and very much look forward to seeing what VR Experiments he brings to the site.
