Building VR Community through Learning with Dominique Wu

Season 3 · Episode 4

Nov. 6, 2023

Dominique Wu is a real leader in bringing together education and VR for regular people. She’s created the XReality Pro program. She’ll talk about what it’s like to be an immigrant in the United States as a creative, a different story than we’ve had a lot of guests share. And she’ll also talk about how an early out-of-body experience in some ways set the table for her to come into the virtual reality space and why she’s so passionate about it. Sign up for XReality Prof if you’d like to connect with other people who are doing amazing things in VR.
