Come and experience the latest developments in hardware, as well as content, in VAR (Virtual + Augmented Reality) presented by Vangard, VRTO, and VBAReality. If you are unfamiliar with what these are, think Oculus Rift or Google Glass. Of course we'll have much more than just those two.

We have Official hit our Waiting list as of Tuesday evening. To accomodate a small additional allocation of tickets we have arranged the venue as follows:

There will be two main themed rooms at this event - one is the INTERACTIVE ROOM for VR games, peripherals, and interactive demos and the second EXPERIENCE ROOM more focused on 360 photography, video and immersive A/V.

The third room - the REALIZATION LOUNGE is a special place for chilling, meeting and interacting with other VR enthusiasts, networking and taking a break from the immersive journeys you will experience over the course of 3 hours. There will additional fun stuff to learn about VR in this room, music and some light refreshments.

With now over 16 exhibitors, there will be more to do than there will be time allowed, we hope that breaking the exhibits up into these categories will help you to prioritize what you want to check out.

Here is the current list of all exhibitorsand what they are showing.

Hardware is great but when you add in the content you get the real moments of magic. You will get to see the works of top VAR developers in the city.

If you'd like to show the world your work, please send an email to team@vangard.co and we'll talk.

Just like all our past events, entry is always free, get your ticket today, and we look forward to seeing you there.
