1 Join online communities

One of the easiest ways to network in VR is to join online communities where you can interact with other VR users, developers, and creators. You can find forums, groups, and platforms dedicated to various aspects of VR, such as hardware, software, design, education, gaming, and more. For example, you can check out Reddit's r/virtualreality, Facebook's Oculus Quest Community, or Discord's VRChat. These online spaces allow you to share your work, ask for feedback, learn from others, and discover new opportunities.

Discord is a great way to connect in VR communities. Twitch, youtube and also meetups are another great way to connect, and for Metapilot, we had a lot of success meeting in person.

Meetup is a great app for this, but also VR tech festivals, or general tech meetups that always have a VR subcategory as well. Great way to meet potential hires as well!

3 Create a VR portfolio

A third way to network in VR is to create a VR portfolio that showcases your work and achievements. A VR portfolio is a collection of VR projects that demonstrate your abilities, interests, and goals in the field. You can create a VR portfolio using various tools, such as Unity, Unreal Engine, or WebXR. You can also use platforms, such as Sketchfab, VeeR, or YouTube, to upload and share your VR content. A VR portfolio allows you to impress potential employers, clients, or collaborators with your work.

When we hire developers or designers for Metapilot, we always ask for a portfolio, and even websites today that allow for smaller gigs always showcase portfolio. Document your work carefully and ask for reviews, they will make your hourly rate increase!

5 Reach out to VR contacts

A fifth way to network in VR is to reach out to VR contacts who can help you grow your career. You can find VR contacts through your online communities, events, portfolio, or influencers. You can also use platforms, such as MeetinVR, Spatial, or Immersed, to host or join virtual meetings with your VR contacts. When you reach out to VR contacts, you should be respectful, professional, and genuine. You should also have a clear purpose, such as asking for advice, feedback, or collaboration.

Connect with top VR leaders to improve both your hourly pay, the size of your projects and the teams that you work in. Linkedin is a great platform for this, but many other ones available. Keep it respectful, helpful and friendly to avoid negative network effects!
