Some of the confirmed VRDC sessions include CCP Games's Andrew Willans talking about how the game company launched one of the most high-profile VR games on the market, EVE: Valkyrie. 

Also, don't miss NASA's Francisco Delgado, discussing 'Hybrid Reality: A New Paradigm for Astronaut Training', and The Farm 51's Wojciech Pazdur on The Chernobyl Project, a unique VR virtual tour using photogrammetry & drones to document and map the aftermath of the world's worst nuclear disaster.

Plus, VRDC speaker Erik Martin (a policy advisor at the White House) will deliver a talk on "The White House Call: Virtual Reality for Grand Challenges" in which he'll address the ways the White House sees virtual reality as a new tool for approaching a number of significant issues.
