About the CEO
Korin
Katsuomi Kobayashi古林 克臣
CEO
- Member, Virtual Reality Society of Japan
Senior Virtual Reality Specialist - Co-organizer of Godot Meetup Tokyo
I love VR. I picked up an early Oculus Rift in 2013 and started making and showing VR work as an individual; before I knew it, that became my profession. I have been involved in more than 40 projects of all sizes such as location-based VR entertainment, VTuber systems, Meta Quest games, web metaverses, enterprise VR systems, research VR setups, and more.
I believe it will still take many years for VR to become a natural part of daily life. Personally, I want to watch and help as devices evolve and spread over the next 10 or 20 years.
