Building for entirely new mediums can be risky, terrifying, and prone to failure. In embracing the new medium of VR wholeheartedly and building native content experiences, Owlchemy has proven a successful formula with Job Simulator and Rick and Morty VR -- two top 10 grossing titles of 2017.

Alex Schwartz, CEOwl of Owlchemy Labs, discusses building content that can only be experienced in VR and why studios attempting to mitigate VR's risk by building content that dips a toe in may not actually be mitigating their risk at all.
