Virtual reality (VR) is a fast-growing industry. Yet operating in this sector requires domain-specific knowledge and skills. Both Estonia and Finland have their own VR communities, who interact closely within each organization. Cooperation between nations is still in its infancy. We believe that a conference aimed at the VR professionals will boost these international communications. We also aim to bring our local developers more into the spotlight and give them the opportunity to showcase their talent on a larger stage. The focus of the conference is on different VR talks, workshops and networking. Through marketing we also aim to spread the word about VR to the average consumer. The event will further establish Estonia as a e-country. VR is one of the more innovative technologies of the recent past and using it for real practical purposes on a nation-wide scale would be a precedent and a good example to other countries. We already have quite many VR-related companies in Estonia, now we must spread that information also abroad.
The event is supported by EV100 and EU presidency international program.
