There’s now just over a month to go before Archiact Interactive launches its public focused virtual reality (VR) event, Consumer Virtual Reality (CVR) 2016 in Vancouver, Canada. And with the event so close the company has revealed further additions to the exhibitor line-up, including VREAL and VRChat.

While tickets are still available for the 14th May event, the CVR 2016 website currently states that 60 per cent have already been sold, although its doesn’t indicate which of the four available options may have sold more.
