Currently the VR sector is being driven by continuous innovation. Every week there will be a new headset out, a new big company vying to be a key player or a new piece of software that entirely changes how we work with VR. As such, growth is crucial for every firm working within this space, and Bertie was proud to announce that Virtual Umbrella has a number of projects coming up which will cement its position at the forefront of this dynamic industry. “Looking forward, we are super excited for the future as we are entering our first stage of growth. We are now actively seeking staff and new projects to work on. “Specifically, we are very excited to share we are working on a virtual reality festival called VRUK. This will be a two-
day festival celebrating all things virtual reality. The event will be taking place in London and will feature keynote speakers from all over the world. Be sure to follow our company for the formal announcement later in the year.”
