In the weeks ahead, you’ll see a lot of new developments on this front, including our next big demo – VR Planetarium. New Widgets for VR. Android beta SDK.
At worst, use Google Translate. Personally, I have made the first translation with Google Translate, then I asked my assistant Miss S to check and correct the translation. You had better going to your booth with already all the devices and accessories you need to demo your game to people. Everything is better than using English.
This is a great feature, even if I think that to be really great it has to be properly tuned with the companion app: while doing demos with my Gear VR, that automatically shows the notifications of my Samsung phone, I was really afraid of what my friend could send me. This is the magical VR Power Drive (Image by Seagate). Other updates.

It featured over 350 speakers, and over 250 exhibitors in 100,000-square-feet expo, including a 20,000-square-feet “Playground,” which featured AR and VR experiences from developers like Chicken Waffle and novel demos from manufacturers like RealMax.
This weekend, Team LeapMotion made the trip from San Francisco to join over 1500 students at the Pauley Pavilion for LA Hacks. The demo lasts for roughly 6 minutes and features some dark twists. 3D design always gets us excited at LeapMotion, and this experimental Autodesk Maya 2015 integration made a big impression.
