At SXSW, Virtual Reality is taking over
South by Southwest makes or breaks tech trends. The international conference in Austin, Texas has always been at the leading edge of the tech community, igniting new products like Twitter and Foursquare, and brand experiences like The North Face’s early exploration in Virtual Reality marketing. Here are five innovative SXSW Virtual Reality panels that we’d like to see. Vote for the ones you think are SXSW-worthy.
