A VR (Virtual Reality) Technician is a person that runs, sets up or creates a VR experience in either a private or professional environment.
I believe, that when it comes to putting a person into a VR Headset, you must strive to give that person the best possible experience that they are never going to forget. That includes the content shown on the headset, hospitality, showmanship and relevant industry knowledge because they all play equal parts in the audiences experience.
I feel this to be important, because VR creates memories that you feel like you lived, rather than just being content you consumed.
Bellow is a list of most of the responsibilities that have been required of me in the past as a VR Technician.
Being able to communicate effectively in team situation as a contractor.
Training and educating people on VR equipment.
Ensure all VR headsets are charged and functioning prior to showtime.
