Learning about the future is fascinating, but actually experiencing it through virtual reality brings it to a whole new level.
That’s our plan for the next Night with a Futurist when the Denver VR team from UPLOAD and VR enthusiasts from the Boulder VR Meetup take the stage to demo the Oculus Rift and GearVR. This is both an informative and interactive event where you will learn and experience this innovative technology first hand.

TOPIC: Night with a Futurist – Stepping into the Future with Virtual Reality
SPEAKERS: Julien Lynge, Mark Manes, Thomas Frey
Last year when Facebook bought Oculus Rift, the world was awakened to the fact that virtual reality was going mainstream. No longer the novelty devices associated with geeks in the back room, Virtual Reality will soon enter every home and be used for playing video games, watching movies, surfing the web, virtual tours, and conducting telepresence calls with people across the world.
Not only will these devices become an essential tool for business, the job market for virtual reality designers, coders, and developers is set to explode.
For this reason, we will also be featuring two leaders in the VR development world. Mark Manes, passionate evangelists for the VR community and Julien Lynge, Senior Instructor for DaVinci Coder’s new Game Design & Development Course starting on March 3, 2015.
Join us on Feb 5th for this mind expanding event. Seating is limited and it will sell out quickly, so register today.
