VRLA 16'

With all the people working in VR these days, from the big to the small, one thing everyone’s got in common is getting their input heard on how this technology will be ultimately articulated, for us and out in the world.

In Los Angeles, the VRLA expo gets everyone together, from VR enthusiast to the forerunners in the industry, working in the latest new games and demos, and helping get some amazing stories told. While everyone’s got a story to tell, not all storytelling methods are created equal. Here’s the place to see how VR is shaking things up a bit. How new ideas on what storytelling actually means come forth. How far can the envelope be pushed?

How else can our sense experience be explored and democratized, eventually leading to VR creation for the non-techies? From imagination to actually finding yourself smack inside a story, whether it be gathering knowledge on a topic or getting current events from a revamped journalistic experience or immersing yourself into your favorite song, you get a real feel for VR’s current vital signs at VRLA.

You can hear users describe their VR experience, often giving a stream-of-consciousness impression—of getting out and intact the narratives held in our minds to share faithfully with others. That’s VR. That’s a big part of the future. That’s what’s going on at VRLA.
