A change of direction for Virtual Reality events
1-2 Nov 2024 – Exeter, UK
The shutdown of Echo VR forced us to change the direction of this event. It shattered the competitive VR space that we knew and loved and split the players (and therefore our attendees) into many more games.
This event became more of a showcase event for A2, which is Another Axiom’s attempt at a spiritual successor to Echo VR. We worked with Another Axiom to provide the first public broadcast of their game in alpha, which did put a fair bit of pressure on me to get it right.
I worked with notblue to create bespoke software for this event, as I needed to create an overlay that would work in multiple games – it had to work with A2, Breachers, Racket Club, Blaston and Onward.
