Oculus Connect 6 Registration Now Officially Open
The sixth annual Oculus Connect developer conference, OC6, is scheduled to take place on September 25th-26th in San Jose, California at the McEnery Convention Center. For those planning to attend OC6, Oculus has announced that registration for its most anticipated event of the year is now open.
This year, Oculus’ annual developer conference (OC6) will be the first Connect since the launch of the Oculus Quest and Rift S, and it promises to highlight the beginning of a new chapter of virtual and augmented reality. The two-day event will feature a wide range of in-depth developer sessions, keynotes, panels, appearances from industry AR/VR leaders, and will showcase plenty of new immersive VR content for the Oculus platform, including the first hands-on playable demo of Respawn Entertainment’s ‘AAA first-person combat title’ created in partnership with Oculus Studios.
“Whether you’re building immersive experiences for consumers or businesses, at OC6 you’ll discover cutting-edge innovations, hear best practices to develop imaginative new worlds, and learn how to effectively distribute your work to a growing audience,” Oculus wrote in a company blog post.
