The evolution of VR is dependent on engaging new content and innovative technologies that will pave the way for future games. Survios co-founder and CTO Alex Silkin will discuss how the company makes VR innovation a key component of game development. From fluid locomotion to phantom melee and beyond, the studio's focus on immersion is core to its mission. Silkin will share how new technologies drive genre-defining gameplay with a case study on the Immersive Vehicle System from the recently-launched high-seas pirate adventure, Battlewake.
By a case study on core technologies, specifically referencing Battlewake, attendees will learn the value of building tech innovation into the VR content development process.
