Overview
NPO OcuFes and PanoraPro will hold "OcuFes Reboot: Where Are Those XR Pioneers Now?", a free hands-on event featuring cutting-edge content, at the Savonius Plaza in front of Akihabara UDX on November 3, 2026. OcuFes originated in 2013 when the world's first VR software showcase was held at an Akihabara cafe, and this event marks 10 years since 2016, the year known as VR's breakout year, returning to its birthplace of Akihabara for the milestone.
As an XR developer community that has held over 40 events from Mumbai to Los Angeles, OcuFes designed this event as a place to experience what those early pioneers are creating now.
