Unity’s top marketer says VR is being created in every corner of the world

Virtual reality is invigorating startup economies around the globe. Unity Technologies, the San Francisco-based maker of the Unity game engine, wants to fuel those VR startups by making its engine ideal for those games and apps. More than 2 million developers are using the Unity engine, and their games are being downloaded 1.2 billion times a month. That’s a huge amount of activity, and lately, much of it has been focused on VR, which is expected to become a $30 billion industry by 2020, according to tech advisor Digi-Capital.

Clive Downie, chief marketing officer at Unity Technologies, gets to see a ton of these demos. While places like Los Angeles and Silicon Valley are strong in VR, he says that virtual reality startups are sprouting in every corner of the globe.
