Sounds like good advice.
What are some of the AR/VR subreddits or chats you like?
After scanning some of the more promising subreddits, I made a few notes:
/r/augmentedreality
- 6K Subscribers
- Demos of things people have built
- Promising
/r/virtualreality - 39K Subscribers
- Mix of gaming news and "see what I built" articles
/r/vr_ar_ux_design - 220 Subscribers
- Very UX article heavy
/r/AR_Innovations - 1K Subscribers
- Mix of consumer news and development resources about AR
/r/virtuality - 1K Subscribers
- Mostly hype about VR, few development resources
/r/Vive - 77K Subscribers
- Mostly about gaming, not development
For things in the early stages, plugging yourself into the community is more valuable than consuming the right news or tutorials.
