“Virtual Reality is real, it’s happening, no longer the stuff of sci-fi films. We know it’s going to take many years and the combined efforts of the whole games industry to fully explore what is possible within the realm of VR. This talk aims to cover the early steps the Art team of London studio took working on Project Morpheus. From addressing the skillset of the art team to deliver the project to what is important in the visual aesthetic of a VR experience; we will step through our learnings looking at what worked and what didn’t.”

Paul James
Based in the UK, Paul has been immersed in interactive entertainment for the best part of 27 years and has followed advances in gaming with a passionate fervour. His obsession with graphical fidelity over the years has had him branded a ‘graphics whore’ (which he views as the highest compliment) more than once and he holds a particular candle for the dream of the ultimate immersive gaming experience. Having followed and been disappointed by the original VR explosion of the 90s, he then founded RiftVR.com to follow the new and exciting prospect of the rebirth of VR in products like the Oculus Rift. Paul joined forces with Ben to help build the new Road to VR in preparation for what he sees as VR’s coming of age over the next few years.
