In Tuesday's American-Statesman, you may have seen my column on virtual reality. In the process of reporting that story, I did an email interview with Ben Lamm, the CEO of Austin-based Chaotic Moon Studios, which earlier this year was bought by Accenture.

Chaotic Moon has been working on VR projects for quite a while. Here’s the full interview, only a small portion of which appears in the column.

Ben Lamm: We've been developing in the virtual reality space for a while, because — while it's not mainstream yet–there's absolutely zero doubt that this is the future. It's that simple. When I got my hands on the first iterations of one VR project we're working on, it blew my mind — and I've seen a lot of incredibly technology. Or ask anyone on our team who's experienced VR at the level I have. We've all recognized that same thing. It's insane. It's THE FUTURE and Chaotic Moon has always been about harnessing that insanity by taking the most bleeding-edge tech in the world and creating an even cooler experience with it.
