Welcome to the Cleveland Chapter of the Global Virtual/Augmented Reality Association

Shortly after the formation of CLEVR in 2016 it became apparent that Cleveland Extended Reality (XR) companies that were creating hardware, software and other services for the emerging Virtual and Augmented Reality headset based experiences could benefit greatly from a deeper, more global connection to the multitude of developers, engineers, strategists, educators, animators, directors and other creatives spread all over the world.

Thus, the plan to launch the Cleveland Chapter of the Global VR/AR Association (“VRARA”) was hatched. Today our Cleveland Chapter provides thought leaders, seasoned vets, tinkerers and newbies alike with the same access to the combined networking power of over 50 worldwide chapters comprised of 21,000 members and 4000 companies. Our founding member companies include RazorEdge (a Cleveland based Tech Strategy and Software Engineering Firm who launched an XR practice back in 2017) and CLEVR (a nonprofit based in the 216).

Recently the Chapter added North American Coatling Labs, 360Alley, Channel XR, HoloPundits and Virtual Spaces.
