This month we have two fast-rising stars in the VR industry that are using virtual reality to radically change two fundamental aspects of our lives: social experiences and exercise. Social VR will allow us to bridge the great distances between us in a way that previous telepresence software has never been able to. Exercising in VR will allow for more fun and interesting ways to work out.



Our first presenter is Bruce Wooden (Cymatic Bruce), Head of Developer Relations at AltspaceVR, will be giving an overview of some of the newest features of AltspaceVR along with a live coding demonstration of the AltspaceVR SDK. The AltspaceVR SDK enables developers to rapidly build contained VR experiences and apps using the power of three.js and web code.



Altspace allows you to share a room and the web with anyone in the world! Attend or create events, share web content with others in real time, browse the web and play web powered 3D apps. AltspaceVR is a shared experience - a platform focused on natural communication, intuitive UI, and real-time sharing of web content.



Our second presenter is Spencer Honeyman, the Director of Business Development at VirZOOM. VirZOOM creates thrilling VR experiences powered by you. Pedal your VirZOOM Controller to propel yourself through endlessly exciting VR games. Power a horse in a race, a tank in battle, a fire-breathing dragon through mountains. Patent pending software controls keep you feeling good. A workout without the work.



We will also be having pizza and demos!
