Nirmal Mehta, emerging tech, and VR vacations for everyone – VB Engage

This week, Travis and Stewart discuss the latest in VR experiences, including a VR vacation simulator — or VRacation simulator, if you like Travis’ made-up words.

They also discuss VR’s marketing problem and European standards for watching ads in VR. Yep, it’s a VR fest this week.

Speaking of emerging technologies, the duo then interview Nirmal Mehta, who schools us in everything new and exciting just in time for us to take a short holiday break and head into the exciting technologies that lie ahead in 2018.
