In an emerging tech space like virtual reality, it can be truly difficult to keep up. Business, tech, and research-related news for the XR industry comes out several times throughout each day. That is exactly why, if you want to keep tabs on what’s going on, you can no longer rely on tech news alone; you have to turn to social media like Twitter.
To help you navigate, we have rounded up our top 5 recommendations for who to follow. (Note: For the sake of authenticity, we picked real individuals instead of just companies.)
