Virtual Odyssey began as a Master’s degree project in the Immersive Media Communication program at the University of Oregon. What started as an experiment in blending communication theory with VR UI/UX design quickly evolved into the Virtual Odyssey Festival, the first VR games convention held entirely in virtual reality.

The project has since grown into a persistent world on Banter, focused on strengthening the VR community and improving the discoverability of VR games. Users can better experience games before purchasing by immersing themselves in 360-degree visuals and audio from each title. Because the platform is inherently social, users can also explore and shop for games together with friends.

Future plans include continued refinement of the user experience and making the process of discovering and purchasing VR games more engaging and exciting.
