Who’s ready to change the world? Of all the latest emerging technologies, virtual and augmented reality have exploded onto the scene as new applications are being created on a daily basis. Expectations and investments are high, so how can you contribute to this rapidly evolving industry? And what is mixed reality? What does it mean to work out in virtual reality?!?! Hopefully your questions about this new (and not so new) technology will be addressed, highlighting specific applications and companies in need of new professionals just like you!
Very few careers began in this exciting industry but that’s about to change. What’s even better is that Boise is emerging as one of the leading tech scenes in the country with vast supporting resources in the VR/AR/MR space. More information will be presented about local startup and recent CES award winner Black Box VR, how you can get involved with organizations like the Idaho Virtual Reality Council (IVRC), and how a career in this rapidly growing field is a REALITY.
