Tommy Palm, CEO of Resolution Games and ex-Games Guru at King, is set to keynote Day 1 of PGC Helsinki 2016(September 5th) to speak about the next big mobile virtual reality platform, Google Daydream.
This rare insight into Google's anticipated mobile VR platform, which will accompany a discussion on Resolution's future plans for the technology, will set the tone for the rest of the Future Visions track at PGC (which continues on the morning of Day 2 and features further sessions from VR and AR luminaries).
Resolution, one of the rising stars in VR, already has one of if not THE biggest selling VR game after announcing over 700K downloads of its Gear VR fishing sim Bait!.
We’re delighted to have Tommy at the show as part of our continued focus to increase the VR presence at PG Connects events, which at Helsinki this year includes a VR expo area as well as a VR Big Indie Pitch.
