Visit us at GDC Looking forward to meeting you in San Francisco !

At the Expo – Booth #532 01 – 03rd Mar 2017, Moscone Center, San Francisco

Visit the Imagination Technologies booth (#532) at the GDC expo for a personal look at the latest in

mobile graphics and to get your questions answered by our experts.

In the Conference Panel: The Future of VR and Mobile Graphics 14:40-15:40, 28th February: Room 2011 West Hall

This is a panel that will be examining the future of VR and mobile graphics – anything from the near

future to the far future is allowed, wild speculation or solid beliefs. This panel will focus on the

continuing rise of VR, and discuss where it’s heading over the next few years – with particular

attention to mobile. What are the end goals? What new technology is on the horizon? What kind of

future is in store for mobile VR adopters? What will the content be like? We’ll be asking these

questions of our expert panellists to get their take, leading to no doubt some lively debate.
