In preparation of the 2nd Brussels VRhackathon, EUVR asbl organizes through Be.VR a training for VR tech newbies. The goal here is to provide adequate directions in order to create a prototype that would be technically & conceptually viable. The whole VR training is tackling now the VR creative (team) side (3 workshops in October + a bonus MiniJam in order to consolidate all learnings).
