Moreover, Virtual Reality is starting to be a truly viable entertainment medium. These are just two examples of how the evolution continues, and a clear demonstration of how exciting it is to watch,” said Tracy Swedlow, founder of [itvt] and producer of TVOT. “As part of TVOT’s own evolution, I’m thrilled to introduce a new venue and two new features for attendees: TVOT Story Lab and a dedicated Insights Track.
