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 with VR UI/UX design quickly evolved into something groundbreaking: the Virtual Odyssey Festival, the very first VR games convention held entirely in virtual reality.

In collaboration with the VR Creator Club, we went on to host bi-weekly professional talks inside Banter VR, creating a space where developers, creators, and enthusiasts could connect and share ideas.

Today, Virtual Odyssey is entering a new chapter. We’re pausing events as we transition to VRChat and completely reimagine our programming. Bigger, bolder, and more interactive experiences are on the horizon.

✨ Stay tuned for the Virtual Odyssey relaunch in 2026, where the future of VR events begins.
