VR Visionaries Join Up!

By TIFCA News
“We produced Lawnmower Man during an era of $10,000 HMDs, but envisioned a time where affordable technologies enabled global access to positive and socially valuable immersive computing and entertainment. That time is NOW, and we are proud to join The ITA to help usher in this new era.” – David Traub, Principal of Epiphany Film Fund

Pictured above  on the right (during a fun GDC VR mixer that The ITA was a media sponsor of), David Traub is Principal of Epiphany Film Fund and was personally responsible for producing the on-display graphics work in the Lawnmower Man.  Lawnmower Man is the 1993 science fiction movie that introduced VR to the global audience.  Also pictured is Neil Schneider, Executive Director of the Alliance, and Alan Price, President of The ITA.

ITA Member Virtuix Raises $3 Million

By TIFCA News
{youtube}iUkjaNQlZO8{/youtube}

The Virtuix Omni is a VR treadmill that lets users physically walk, run, and jump in their favorite video games, and is best combined with VR devices like head mounted displays.  It was first revealed and launched on Meant to be Seen’s discussion forums – the consumer arm of The ITA.  This led to a very successful Kickstarter, and has pre-sold over three thousand units so far.

Their most recent success is having raised $3 million in private funding.  Making things even more interesting is one of their investors, Mark Cuban’s Radical Investments, had originally denied backing Virtuix on Shark Tank.  That opinion has obviously changed.

Congratulations to Jan Goetgeluk and the Virtuix team!
