The ideas and opinions shared on Immersed Access do not necessarily represent those of The Immersive Technology Alliance or the employers of whomever is posting here. All material is under non-disclosure as per the Immersed Access Terms and Conditions.
Covering everything from academia to commercial endeavors, these private discussion forums are there for open discussion, collaboration, shared knowledge, and experimentation. The forums are also a great opportunity to meet like-minded forward-thinking people in the immersive technology space.
This could be articles, videos, podcasts – you name it! What’s key is that people get the chance to learn from each other. We encourage all members to propose and share material for the Immersed Access community. More than this, when you post commentary on what you see, it’s simultaneously shared in the discussion forums. We want to see some great dialogue from this!
