About Us

Democratizing VR/AR since 2016

Over the course of the last three years, VR First Consortium members HTC, Intel, LeapMotion and Oculus (as well as several educational software companies) have enabled VR First to built a global network of 900+ universities and 52 VR/AR labs. By donating VR/AR headsets and standardized VR/AR curricula to academic institutions around the globe, VR First has succesfully democratized VR/AR. Located at the intersection of industry and academia, VR First has identified the needs of the industry and decided to move forward with XR Bootcamp, striving to move the whole XR industry forward by equipping it with the talents they need to develop the most immersive VR/AR content.
