SAN FRANCISCO, March 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Over 1000 Virtual Reality developers & industry leaders are expected for the third-annual VR Mixer on Monday March 14th from 7PM-11PM in downtown San Francisco. The 2016 VR Mixer is presented by SFVR (San Francisco Virtual Reality) and SVVR (Silicon Valley Virtual Reality), two of the world's largest and longest-running VR communities, along with our 2016 premier sponsor, NextVR, a leader in live and on-demand VR experiences.
VR Mixer began 3 years ago at GDC (Game Developers Conference), and has quickly grown to become the premier VR networking event at GDC, drawing indie VR developers, founders of VR startups, and executives from many of the top companies in the VR industry.
