VRLA
I have met a bunch of people in New York actively pursuing virtual reality, but the VR population is definitely much bigger on the west coast, particularly in LA. This summer, the VRLA conference at the downtown convention center, featured lots of demos and one of the best presenters. Here is a clips of Reggie Watts's awesome presentation/show on the humor of tech + VR , along with some beat boxing and music accoutrements.

Ironically, one of the most impressive exhibitions/demos I saw, was not truly VR, yet panoramic 360 projected video inside a dome shaped tent. It was beautiful, spectacular and how imagine the cinema of the future. The artist is Android Jones, and here are some clips.
