Additionally, you’ll benefit immensely from the enriched guidance and mentorship offered by seasoned industry professionals. Every other week, these mentors will join your team meetings, offering their expert insights, addressing your technical challenges, and helping you better understand the industry’s demands. This mentorship isn’t limited to just these meetings – there will be introductory sessions and workshops that you can attend, allowing for an even broader perspective and deeper learning experience. These resources come together to provide an immersive and supportive environment, accelerating your professional growth within the VR industry.

To encapsulate, your commitment to this program consists of a total of twelve (12) 1-hour team meetings over three months. In addition, up to eight (8) of these sessions will be augmented with the presence of an industry professional mentor. Apart from these, you’ll also have the opportunity to meet with your team and continue work projects, as they fit into your schedule. In total, expect a meaningful time commitment that works in tandem with your existing responsibilities, while paving the way for your growth in the VR industry.

The XRI Mentorship Program is a three-month immersive journey, meticulously designed to nurture your skills, creativity, and innovative thinking within the VR/AR industry. This unique experience goes beyond generalized training, fostering a deep understanding of the medium and the myriad opportunities it presents.

Through weekly team meetings, you’ll immerse yourself in a collaborative environment where key areas such as story development, understanding various platforms, and post-production are explored. You’ll engage with hardware and software tools, learn vital design principles, and have exposure to foundational programing of VR/AR experiences. Alongside these, the program underscores the importance of project management and the ethical considerations in VR/AR design.

In addition to technical and ethical proficiency, the program imparts essential knowledge on business and monetization strategies, preparing you to transform your VR/AR projects into successful products or businesses. Industry veterans will offer insights, ensuring you’re abreast of the latest trends and providing opportunities to network. By the end of this program, you’ll not only have a VR/AR project to present on Demo Day, but also a profound understanding of the dynamic VR/AR landscape, ready to seize the opportunities it presents.
