One of the key selling points of virtual reality is its ability to make people feel transported to and immersed in a virtual space.

Pulling this off is critical to many VR projects, and at VRDC 2017 a panel of VR devs dissected the challenge and discussed what they'd learned about doing it right.

Panelists Will Smith (FOO Show), Chris Pruett (Oculus VR), Adam Orth (ADR1FT) and Dirk Van Welden (Space Pirate Trainer) shared their own lessons learned and highlighted other successful VR worlds, talking about major trends in the VR market and mulling over how VR devs can best prepare for the future.

This is the sort of talk you want to see if you're at all interested or invested in making VR experiences, so don't miss your chance to now watch the panel for free via the official GDC YouTube channel!
