VRLA Summer Expo 2015 has come and gone and was the biggest and most successful yet. AMD were platinum sponsors of this year’s event and you can now watch Roy Taylor, Corporate Vice President Alliances, take to the stage to tell the audience why AMD as a company are so excited about VR.
Taylor touches on several interesting subjects, sharing some illuminating statistics and research outlining the potential market opportunities, as well as highlighting pitfalls for developers and finally where VR hardware needs to head as a form-factor should it conquer the mass mainstream market.
AMD made an impressive ‘push’ into the VR space at E3 in June with bold events such as their inaugural VR Advisory Council, which invited top tier industry decision makers to discuss their views on VR’s future.

AMD launched the ‘Liquid VR’ initiative earlier in the year, and represents their technical solution for delivering low-latency, high performance graphics rendering for desktop virtual reality. Their LDK, a hardware development kit designed as a low-maintenance platform for VR developers, will launch later this year.

The VRLA is an interesting talk, worth 20 minutes of your time if you even have a passing interest in the VR space. Plus, if you look carefully, you may just spot a certain online VR publication making a guest appearance in Taylor’s slide deck.
