“An event like Immersed is key to showing the masses that VR and AR have moved from the realm of science fiction into fact. Hardware and content are finally catching up to our lofty expectations and now we can experience those innovations first hand.” – Lucas Cochran, Daily Planet, Discovery Channel Canada
