Awesome!  Some of my scans at SVVR made imgur!

I travelled to the US to attend the Silicon Valley Virtual Reality Conference & Expo 2014 back in May, and got roped into scanning a bunch of people there on day two of the conference.  It was actually a brilliant way to meet some of the most influential movers and shakers of the VR scene in the US.  

Reverend Kyle does the awesome Road To VR podcast, seen below wearing the purple shirt.  And Jesse beside him is one of the developers of VRChat, which is the application that is being depicted here.  Both are standing right in front of the table where we were set up.  
The VR community chats happen on Sunday afternoon, US Pacific time, which is somewhat inconveniently early on Monday morning Australian time.  

If you're interested in learning more about VR, come along to a meeting of AVRIA, the Australian Virtual Reality Industry Association:

What Will The Economy Look Like When The Robots Take Your Job?

3/6/2014

This article discusses a crucially important issue that we will have to come to grips with as robotic technology marches forwards ... the impact on human "work."  

From the intro:  


A future of automation could play out in many different ways--from a leisurely society where machines do the hard work for us, to a dystopia where the robots make us all bankrupt.
