EVENT DETAILS
<P><SPAN>We know frontier technologies like VR can be confusing and</SPAN><SPAN>overwhelming thats why we created the VR101 workshop. In the space</SPAN><SPAN>of an hour, attendees learn about the fundamentals of virtual reality,</SPAN><SPAN>different types of VR content, the future of the industry, & best</SPAN><SPAN>practices for storytelling. Well also explain the costs associated</SPAN><SPAN>with creating VR, & what a typical timeline looks like. We demo both</SPAN><SPAN>360 & room-scale content & wrap up by walking through a sample</SPAN><SPAN>pitch to demonstrate how the creative scope might come together. This</SPAN><SPAN>should give agency folks the tools they need to bring us in to sell</SPAN><SPAN>their clients on VR projects.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN><SPAN>Friends With Holograms provides education, creative strategy, and</SPAN><SPAN>technical expertise in virtual reality for brands, agencies, and</SPAN><SPAN>entertainment companies. A full-service agency, we explain everything</SPAN><SPAN>from the ins & outs of the medium to the latest tech developments,</SPAN><SPAN>all while connecting our clients with the right partners to achieve</SPAN><SPAN>their creative visions & deliver great content.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
