New VR Arcade Summit Informs Effective Location-Based VR Strategy
One of the biggest developments at VRS is the co-located VR Arcade Summit 2017, dedicated to VR arcades, theaters, theme parks, and other out-of-home venues. The event will take place on October 26th and run alongside VRS 2017. The event is being co-produced by Virtual World Arcade, organizers of the annual VR Arcade Conference.
The launch of the VR Arcade Summit 2017 reflects the emergence of virtual reality for location-based entertainment, education, and out-of-home leisure use. Greenlight Insights has forecast that location-based virtual reality, including hardware, software, and services, will soon surpass $1 billion. A deep dive into VR’s various sectors is available in the 2017 VR Industry Report, co-authored by Greenlight Insights and Road to VR.
Already, content owners are experimenting with technologies, venue strategies, and business models to capture unprecedented levels of interest from consumers in trying virtual reality games, film, and interactive art. Disney, The VOID, IMAX, HTC and other industry leaders are playing an important role in driving the proliferation of location-based virtual reality venues around the globe.
“We’re entering a period where every virtual reality content owner should be developing specific strategies and partners to capitalize on the rapid growth of location-based VR globally,” said Alexis Macklin, Analyst & VRS Program Chair. “At VR Arcade Summit 2017, we will provide attendees with critical knowledge that will help them put distinct tactics to work in their content and operational strategies.”
At VR Arcade Summit 2017, attendees will learn about current and future trends in the location-based virtual reality industry and take home actionable insights through industry-specific sessions across four tracks including content development, distribution, technology, and business strategy. In addition, they will have the opportunity to hear from Greenlight Insights analysts and industry leaders through exclusive keynotes.
