Max Glenister
Since 2015, I have been actively involved in the field of Virtual Reality, honing my skills in VR development and VR UX curation.
Through my extensive experience, I have delivered a series of compelling talks on developing VR experiences using web technologies, as well as my personal achievement of creating a new VR project every day for an entire month.
With a passion for exploring the frontiers of VR, I continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in this exciting and rapidly-evolving field.
[Current Setup]
I'm currently using an Oculus Quest. While the headset itself isn't very powerful for running games or other experiences on the device, I've found that it works well when tethered to my PC. This allows me to run PC-based virtual reality experiences using the Quest headset.
Other than that, I haven't changed much since I wrote about my Oculus Quest.

I spent every day of October 2016 creating VR content for Google Cardboard using JavaScript/WebGL/other WebAPIs and blogged about it.
