First Segment: VR’t Ventures. Jacob Koo, CEO/Founder.

Impactful museum exhibitions are like unforgettable music albums. Those music albums are not just a random collection of songs haphazardly put together, but rather, there is a narrative being shared by the musical artist, utilizing the gift of sound. Brilliant artists, along with gifted curators, also create a compelling story through the actual artworks as well as the placement and juxtaposition of those masterpieces. In the past, we could only experience this by physically visiting a specific museum in a particular part of the world during a brief period of time. By properly archiving these exhibitions utilizing only recently available technology, future generations will be able to experience what their predecessors intended.
