Oculus VR (creators of the Oculus Rift VR headset) in partnership with Kaleidoscope has just announced a bran-new project, Devlab. Devlab is being described as “A new initiative to support independent VR creators and explore the boundaries of virtual reality as an art form.” Those fortunate enough to be included in the inaugural class of 28 creators will start their process with a 2-day gathering in Los Angeles, and then after a month of hands-on workshops, live performances, and mentorship, will present projects to potential investors at a showcase event at Facebook headquarters.

To get more information on Devlab, view the bios of the inaugural class, or to apply to take part in this creative experiment, check out kaleidovr.com.
