In the latest episode of The VR Report, I rap with Devin Reimer, a trailblazer in VR gaming. He’s developed platinum hits like Job Simiulator and the Rick and Morty VR experience. Devin shared a compelling tree analogy to describe his journey in the XR industry. He likened starting in VR to planting a tree: initially, there's little visible growth, but then come bursts of development, from leaves to branches. This mirrors VR's own ebbs and flows, with periods of 'investment winters' and sudden growth. Devin’s experience through these cycles has been instrumental in his success.
