Oculus Connect Applications Are Now Open and GDC 2014 Video

Oculus Connect Applications Now Open!

We’ve started accepting applications for Oculus Connect! The registration form is located at the bottom of the main page at https://www1.oculus.com/connect.

Attendees will be the first to learn about upcoming Oculus technology, with sessions and workshops led by Oculus engineers and industry pioneers. Developers at the event will also have opportunities to receive design and engineering feedback directly from the Oculus team in hands-on labs.

The event will also feature keynotes from our very own Brendan Iribe, Palmer Luckey, John Carmack, and Michael Abrash.

“Now is a special time. I believe that VR will have a huge impact in the coming years, but everyone working today is a pioneer. The paradigms that everyone will take for granted in the future are being figured out today; probably by people reading this message.” – John Carmack, Oculus CTO

Applications are being considered based on a variety of factors. We wish we could host the entire community, but physical attendance is limited and, as a developer conference, active developers will be given priority.

If you haven’t already applied, take a moment to do so now at https://www1.oculus.com/connect! We’re reviewing applications starting Sunday, July 20th at 11:59pm PT and we’ll send out the the first wave of invitations later that week. Applications submitted beyond Sunday night will be considered for the waitlist.

Thank you to everyone who’s already applied. We’re looking forward to seeing many of you there. And remember, if you can’t make the show, we’ll be livestreaming the keynotes. More details on the livestreams to follow closer to the event.

Oculus @ GDC 2014 Video Recap

With the launch of DK2, GDC 2014 was a special moment for VR, so we brought our production crew along to capture the event as it happened.

We were thrilled to meet so many members of the community and introduce them to DK2. Whether you were you were there or not, here’s a glimpse of that week from the show floor at the Moscone Center in San Francisco:

A huge thank you to Tim Hyten and his crew for their stellar work helping to produce the video.

It’s an incredible, unique time to be a part of this industry. Thank you all for being a part of it!
