VR experts predict bright future
VFX house Framestore, meanwhile, is experiencing growing demand for virtual reality work. Its VR team has grown from three to approaching 100, according to head of VR Karl Woolley.
He said the early hype around VR led people to think it would take off quickly and that there would soon be headsets in every home. Instead, he added: “The real demand for VR is coming from the rollout of more location-based experiences. And this is where I think we’ll see it continue for the time being.”
