Kodsnack 241 - Looking for the killer apps in VR
Kodsnack - Podcast tekijän mukaan Kristoffer, Fredrik, Tobias - Tiistaisin
Fredrik discusses VR with Noah Falstein of the Inspiracy (and previously companies such as Google and Lucasfilm games). We talk about where VR is today, which platforms are good today and what might happen going forward. VR might be on the verge of a big breakthrough but there is still a lot left to be discovered, from ways of controlling experiences to entire new genres.
Recorded on stage at Øredev 2017.
