High Fidelity, the social VR platform headed by Second Life creator Philip Rosedale, will host its first festival completely in virtual reality, which will feature contests, giveaways and live music shows in VR.
Dubbed ‘FUTVRE LANDS’, the festival will take place November 17th, 2018, from 12 PM – 4 PM PT (local starting time here).
The festival, which is being held in honor of the so-deemed VR Day, will take place in the FUTURE LANDS domain in VR and also at High Fidelity’s VR Studio in San Francisco. Free tickets are available here via Eventbrite.
