To follow: a Twitter list of XR influencers

Mathieu G.

Social networks and private groups are used to share news and events. Not the fear of missing something, but certainly the idea of a real community behind virtual worlds: this is not a fantasy. In our field, XR influencers are real, and not only the ones you could think of!

After a year (happy us!) of activities and social posts, we gathered the most influencial/connected people who came across our Twitter radar. As it is a network of speed and live messages, as well as discussion, it’s the right way to discover new influencers and trends during professionals events such as festivals, meet-up or keynote.
