    Hi @Karuji, we'd like to demo 2 of our VR games. We'll bring along a rig and Vive setup.

    @4t0m1c consider demoing at the VR meetup as well. There is a vive already set up: http://makegamessa.com/discussion/5312/jozi-vr-meetup-2-19-jun

    @4t0m1c bringing along a rig sounds great ^_^

    We've never done a VR demo during the meetup prime. If you want to to demo during the slots I'm up for giving it a try! But we'd need to get things setup early so we can make sure that everything is working with the projector.

    Do we have to bring out own computers to show a game? (I only have a motorcycle)
    Additionally, I don't have a VR game, but a regular desktop puzzlegame. Would that be fine?

    Own computer preferable, though I'm sure if you come earlier someone can lend you a machine to show, though that means if they need it for other stuff you'll be sharing time, which is never ideal.

    VR games are really out of the ordinary, most people show desktop prototypes on their laptop. So yes of course that'd be fine :)

    NOTICE:

    We're not in the regular room today, they're having an event there, so we've been moved to CONFERENCE CENTRE 4 for tonight - should be to the left as you enter the MS office.

    Also Julian is down with the sickness so I'll be running the meetup tonight.
