Virtual Reality is now easy (er)

Host name: John Gwinner

Description:

Author of the book "Getting started with React VR"

The Immersive Web is now supported in all major browsers. If you know HTML, VR is now as easy as <box>. Instead of having to learn game engines, etc. if you know HTML and Javascript, you can build real VR experiences; on any hardware.

John will also discuss how VR is leveling off, and "Video killed the VR Star" (with apologies to the Buggles); the Fermi paradox and VR, and how VR doesn't have to look real to seem real.

Host Name Bio:

John Gwinner is a Chief Technology Officer with nearly 2 decades of experience in VR. He developed a VR interface for CompuServe during the last wave of VR.

He helped develop VRML (Virtual Reality Markup Language) and Web3D with a focus toward PCs, and put early versions of XML on the web. He was a returning speaker at the Game Developer Convention on 3D toolkits, AI, and VR. He was an early Kickstarter of a new VR Headset in 2014.

Now that VR is definitely taking off again, John is once again at the forefront, making it easy for people to build Virtual Worlds. He is a top writer on Quora, answering questions about VR and its future direction.
