VR Game Jam Hackathon

Weekend of VR / AR Game development. Teams consisted of a range of skills from developers to artists to business people. It was great to bump into friends I have met at other events and to make lots of new friends. I would like to say a big Thank You to the Realities Centre for hosting, Razer for the VR HDK2 kit & prizes, and Amandine for organising such an amazing event!
