    News CTA to Require Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination for CES 2022 Attendees

    Now that it is known that some the vaccinated and unvaccinated (but hopefully not recovered cases) can still contract SARS-2 and spread the virus, proof of vaccination is meaningless.

    'VR Literacy,' Doing Good In VR, And More: Immersive Gaming Panel At Immersed 2015
