SXSW Online is happening March 16-20, and I had a chance to get a sneak peak of the SXSW Online XR world in VRChat and talk with the chief curator of the SXSW Virtual Cinema program Blake Kammerdiener about the program and special events that he's been able to put together. The $399 entry price for SXSW is a bit steep if you're only interested in the immersive storytelling program, but this also includes all of the tech conference, music conference, film conference, film festival, and music festival events in additional to the SXSW Online XR program. I'll be attending a number of the different aspects of the SXSW Online next week, and talking to Kammerdiener helped me get a bit more of an idea of what to expect next week and where to track all of the different events, talks, meetups, and live performances.
