A Message from the President
2022 is progressing with record speed. We are thrilled to see the emergence of activity gearing up as concerns over COVID start to diminish. It’s been a tough few years, but with hard work and diligence, from both the industry and VRIF members, we’ve weathered the storm. We are grateful, we are energized, and we are ready to continue bridging the gap for sustainable results to the VR industry.
We hope that you can join us at our upcoming June event where we will bring members and industry colleagues together, both in person and online, to progress the work of the VRIF, plus we are offering the first ever masterclass on volumetric guidelines. Details are below.
If you’re attending the FOKUS Media Symposium, on Wednesday, VRIF will offer key insights during our 10 minute presentation called “VRIF into the Metaverse interop madness.” We hope to see you there!
