Part two today of the series on virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) companies that could possibly influence the development of the Metaverse and Web3.
In case you missed the first part, here’s the link to it.

4. Laval Virtual
Not exactly a company per se, but worth mentioning anyway: Created in 1999, Laval Virtual was founded at the initiative of the former Minister of Research and mayor of Laval, François d’Aubert.
The mission of Laval Virtual — The 1st International Exhibition and Conference on VR/AR/Metaverse and Immersive Techniques — is to serve, inform and animate the community of users of VR/AR and immersive techniques in its BtoB uses through meeting and discussion platforms and information services.
In its more than 20 years of existence, Laval Virtual has established itself as a key facilitator for organizations in the VR/AR sector. It brings together and animates a community of professionals throughout the year, for which it holds shows in Europe and Asia, conference programmes and provides various information services (technological watch, publications, workshop reports, etc.).
