One of the UK’s leading virtual reality conferences, VRTGO, is on its way to Gateshead, UK on November 12th. But if you can’t wait until then to sate your VR hunger, the organisers are holding a VR demo day on the 10th September, designed to highlight local virtual reality innovation.
The VR demo day is the inaugural event for a new body set up by the VRTGO team and backed by Gateshead council, VRTGO Laboratories – a “…dedicated virtual reality business cluster, created to bring together a growing number of researchers, entrepreneurs and businesses working in the sector”.
