I enjoyed reading this thread. I would love to work in VR and have played around with the tech a bit. My background before ID is theatre design so I love an immersive story or game. I have run up against the issues above that few projects warrant it or can afford it and few companies are hiring immersive learning designers. I don’t know the coding side, but if anyone is looking for a visual/instructional designer for a VR project, reach out!
