Description
Everybody now is hearing about Virtual Reality. Everybody is excited about it. But the barrier of entry is way too high. Be that buying a expensive Oculus VR headset or a high end laptop which can actually run it (even the highest end macbooks can’t today). To learning programming and using different sdk’s to build it. even then you are bound by only that platform.
In this talk we will explore the ways to get past all these. Using mobile as our VR headsets and WebVR as the medium through which to deliver the experience. And programming language and sdk? Html and javascript. So cardboard+webvr brings virtual reality to everyone. And using aframe how to even make it simpler to start building virtual reality apps right now!

Excerpt:
People are already tired of the over-promise of IoT – the slew of marginally useful products, the overly confusing and crowded developer space, and endless examples of how to turn an LED on and off.
Take a break, step back from the crowd, and come learn how to solve real human problems with that old phone that’s collecting dust on your shelf.
