SSVAR blog talking about virtual reality,augmented reality and mixed reality.
GUEST: This year, CES saw countless VR demos, new headsets and accessories (maybe the most significant being wireless capability add-ons for tethered headsets), and AR consumer headsets and phones by ODG and ASUS. Many of these technologies will not be available until later in 2017 or 2018. Oculus was noticeably missing, as well as major...
The number of jobs posted for game developers has declined 65 percent since 2014, according to an analysis by the job search site Indeed.
