While this past year saw Virtual Reality become more accessible with the introduction of Google Cardboard and HTC Vive Headsets, the power of this technology has merely scratched the surface.

Matt, our Chief Operating Officer, recently shared the vast possibilities this platform has for Canada in The Huffington Post. From forensic investigations to mental health, it’s clear that VR and AR are disrupting industries well outside of gaming and entertainment.

With so much potential, now is the perfect time to start learning Virtual Reality. There are few industries that are welcoming new talent and ideas like this one, and for those who have always been interested in the field, there’s no better time to get started. The future of tech is here.
