A VR Jam?
That’s right! In addition to our regular quarterly meetups, we run a once-a-year VR jam that gathers VR developers from all over the world to spend a weekend crafting — after all, building, collaborating, and experimenting are our bread and butter! It’s our biggest, most ambitious event of the year! More about the VR jam here!
