The VR/AR Association (VRARA) … “Where XR Meets Reality ... the VR/AR Association has been around for roughly 10 years. And when it started, there were the two technologies … there was #VR and #AR, and the organization was created to bring together people to learn about the technologies. Well, obviously, the technology has evolved. And so we looked at how do we keep the association relevant to the technology that's available? And we made a decision not to change the name of the association because a lot of people know it. It's got brand equity. But we wanted to add something in there that said, it's about #XR ... And "Where XR meets Reality' also embodies the fact that this is about people … bringing people together around the technology” I met up with John A. Cunningham last week in #Orlando to chat about; ✔ Upcoming VRARA events, such as the ‘Best of Europe’ online event planned for the 21st March.. ✔ The inaugural Central Florida Immersive Technology Summit on the 11th & 12th April, which will be a hybrid event, both in-person and streamed to the XR community via ENGAGE XR. ✔ The plan for other VRARA chapters to look to run local in-person events this year, including an informal VRARA meet-up at the upcoming Hannover Messe (#HM24). So interesting times ahead with #VRARA...

5moIt's fantastic to see the VR/AR Association (VRARA) continue to adapt and thrive over the years, maintaining its relevance amidst evolving XR technologies. The commitment to connecting people and fostering learning without altering the well-established brand name speaks volumes about the association's values and vision. The upcoming events, especially the ‘Best of Europe’ and the Central Florida Immersive Technology Summit, sound like incredible opportunities for the XR community. Excited to see how VRARA chapters will further engage with local and global audiences. #VRARA #XR #Innovation
