Virtual Reality is set to be one of the most disruptive technologies. Whether you work in Gaming, Construction, Financial Services or even for a Formula1 team, chances are you will be working with VR in the very near future. But current VR architectures are not practical for the Enterprise. So how do you go about building an Enterprise VR platform? How do you deliver solutions like Nvidia Holodeck, integrate with Google Hangouts, leverage infrastructure as code for a consistent user experience? In the session, you’ll get a glimpse at the VR Platform Cisco is building with our partner eBB3
