Vrscout Report - Discover The Best In Vr

The annual Lumiere Awards are an event from the Advanced Imaging Society that recognizes outstanding achievement in cutting edge content and technology - and lots of virtual reality content is in the lineup. This episode is an amalgamation of mini-interviews with a handful of this year's VR nominees who share with us insight into their process. Jim Chabin, the President of the Advanced Imaging Society and the VR Society, kicks off this episode with context on the awards and how the AIS is thinking about VR.
