VRMAG is really excited that three members of our team - Marco Trezzini, Shen Luethi and myself (Michelle Bienias) - will be attending the Summit this fall, where VRMAG will be an official press partner covering the event; we're all looking forward to meeting old and new friends at the event, as well as seeing Sedona, a place we've heard so many wonderful things about. VRMAG will also be hosting a workshop on multiraw shooting with motorized tripod heads where attendees will be able to test the equipment.

[Members of VRMAG will also be attending the Photokina event in Germany this September, where we will be shooting with two different motorized tripod heads, in cooperation with Peace River Studios (PixOrb) and Roundshot Germany (Karline rodeon). ]

Summit in Sedona is the premiere event for anyone creating immersive environments. The three-day conference and two-day workshops will include hands-on instruction with some of the latest software and hardware including: photography, image editing, VR authoring, interactivity, audio, and video. Join us for an optional day on Saturday, October 30th for a Jeep adventure into the backcountry exploring Sedona’s five vortexes.
