Meetups, demo nights and ARVR Women
From May 2014 VRLab ran a San Francisco VR meetup group that listed 894 members by October 2014, held demo nights and a lab forum, and set up a retail outlet for mobile VR headsets in a San Francisco store.
VRLab's meetup group was founded on 2014-05-15 and held its first demo day on 2014-06-24; by October 2014 it listed 894 members. Meetups followed at Unity's San Francisco office and at 111 Minna Gallery, a lab forum carried project threads, and from 2014-10-16 West Coast Leather in San Francisco sold mobile VR headsets as a VRLab retail outlet. In 2016 VRLab ran retail demos in Union Square, and in 2017 it gave a demo and joined a panel in Los Angeles.
