How virtual reality can change the future of user-generated content

Virtual reality and user-generated content aren’t just buzzwords. They could be the future of the gaming industry, and they could compliment each other.

At our GamesBeat 2016 conference, we talked with Dave Baszucki, the chief executive officer of Roblox, and Todd Hooper, the chief executive officer and founder of Vreal. Roblox is a user-generated content platform that is opening up to VR, while Vreal allows players to spectate game competitions in a virtual reality space. Each executive talked about how virtual reality is changing the future of user-generated content. Here is an edited transcript of our interview.
