The Future of VR Entertainment at Hackfort Happy Hour ??? Last night, VR1 Arcade showed us the future of VR entertainment at the Hackfort Happy Hour! ?? We tried everything from classic arcades to PC gaming, Killer Queen Arcade, and, of course, VR. Seeing how VR is evolving for esports, virtual events, and architectural visualization was eye-opening. Exciting times for immersive tech! ? Huge thanks to the VR1 Arcade team for hosting us ?? ?? and sharing their vision! ?? #Hackfort #VR1Arcade #VR #Hackfort2025 Treefort Music Fest #XR #AR Brendan Smythe

Reminder! Hackfort Happy Hour today!

Join Britt McClintock for a collaborative conversation about why embracing, humanizing, and centering the “people” in tech (especially those from underrepresented communities) will be crucial in the coming years.
