VR Ethics: Come to VRDC and learn how not to join the league of evil

With new technology comes new creative power -- and new responsibility.

Virtual reality is no exception, and at the inaugural standalone Virtual Reality Developers Conference this November a panel of experts will gather to discuss the value of ethics in VR experience design.

Attend the session on "VR Ethics: How Not To Join The League of Evil" to learn just that. Experts Suzanne Leibrick (VR Designer, ARVR Academy), Mark Schramm (Director, Virtual Fireflies), Erin Pangilinan (Founder / Designer x Developer Consultant, Harp / Self), Banun Idris (Software Engineer, Independent Developer), Jedrzej Jonasz (President, Mythical City Games) and Sky Nite (Head of Education, UploadVR) will discuss the potential future ramifications of VR: how to avoid unethical behavior, what unethical VR creation looks like, and how to use your developer superpowers only for good.

Make time to check it out and you'll gain a new perspective on the wider implications of the world-changing topic that is VR, and your own responsibility as a creator.

So go to the VRDC website now and register to attend the conference, which will feature a plethora of great VR/AR talks spanning games, entertainment, and beyond into subjects such as healthcare, journalism, travel, manufacturing, retail, live events, real estate, training, and so much more.

VRDC 2016 will take place November 2-3 at the Park Central Hotel in San Francisco. For more information on VRDC 2016, visit the show's official website and subscribe to regular updates via Twitter and Facebook.
