Keeping Up on Who and What’s Shaping The Industry
UCLA’s Royce Hall will be packed with visitors, live discussions, and of course, demos that are redefining the landscape of AR and VR technology. TechCrunch recently hosted sessions about robotics and blockchain and is now shifting focus to what’s driving the VR and AR industries.
In October, TC will host talks about the future of social VR, the current state of AR/VR funding opportunities, what it needs for peripheral sales to increase, and other topics concerning AR and VR.

Listen to experts who are growing AR adoption with consumer affordable hardware, building inclusive and informative spaces for users, developers, and studios to thrive in, and more.

Cross-Industry Communication
With the creation and evolution of augmented reality glasses and virtual reality headsets, mobile phone image overlays, virtual training, gaming, and marketing application concepts, and new uses being imagined daily, cross-industry comradery is what the industries need to stay on top.
TC Sessions one-day event keeps both branches of AR and VR up-to-date with what’s challenging them and what’s pushing them forward, which is important to the local and worldwide success of the tech. TechCrunch Writer, Lucas Matney, shares that, “The world’s top tech companies have heavily invested in AR/VR and are persistent in broadcasting the technologies’ potential to blur the lines of how consumers interact with the digital world.”
The tech community as a whole is looking to the successes and failures of startups to help them think about and take away lessons that will affect consumer buy-in, with Matney affirming, “Beyond the tech titans, it’s the small startups that are dialing into what’s missing in the ecosystem right now. Our agenda showcases some of the powerhouses in the space, but also plenty of smaller teams that are building and debunking fundamental technologies for virtual worlds.”
