Comments
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.
Additionally, I don't have a VR game, but a regular desktop puzzlegame. Would that be fine?
VR games are really out of the ordinary, most people show desktop prototypes on their laptop. So yes of course that'd be fine :)
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.
