What I’ve Learned

• Ironically, VR must be experienced• B2B clients want and need scalability• Different platforms excel with different uses: i.e.

built spaces vs. new construction• Experimentation and collaboration are essential• Learning by doing is best• Successful, happy clients = repeat business
