Organisers of the first VR Arcade Conference, which is taking place in San Jose in the US state of California this week, are reporting a strong take-up in support of the US event from speakers, exhibitors and sponsors.
The event, which isl being held at the Computer History Museum in San Jose on May 2- 4, is supported by developers and investors in out-of-home entertainment and those breaking into this new sector of the virtual reality market.
Following a keynote presentation yesterday from Kevin Williams of KWP, featured speakers included Zero Latency, Vizuality Studio, Virtual World Arcade and MantisVR, while a second session that day included representatives from Figment Productions, Enterspace, Virsix and MediaMation.

Today, Nolan Heimann, attorney and advisor in the VR and gaming fields, will give a detailed presentation on the successful steps needed to champion, and protect, ideas in this emerging sector.
There will also be a number of tutorials and tech talks expanding on discussions in previous panel sessions and around 30 exhibitors will be on the accompanying show floor.
