I’m pleased to announced that longtime Editor Scott Hayden is stepping up to become Road to VR’s new Executive Editor.
After starting with Road to VR as a freelancer in 2014, becoming a contributor in 2016, and then Editor in 2019, Scott Hayden is now the publication’s new Executive Editor. As such, Scott is responsible for all editorial decisions and strategy, and for upholding the standards of reporting that Road to VR has been dedicated to over the last 15 years.
Looking back at Scott’s first-ever published work on Road to VR in November 2014 reminds me just how strong of a writer he was from the very beginning. Even then, his articles were well written, informed, and thoughtful.
And in the 12 years since, he’s gone from a strong writer to a great reporter with incredible versatility; Scott has handled it all: daily news, reviews, interviews, international conferences, editorial insights, and, much more. And, importantly, he knows how to make the tough editorial calls that ensure Road to VR’s coverage remains journalism rather than marketing.
Beyond his dedication to the Road to VR mission, Scott is also a very intelligent, very curious, and very kind person whom I’m fortunate to have as a colleague. I can think of literally no one better to maintain this publication’s values as it continues to evolve with the world of XR over the coming years.
In early 2014, I bought a used Oculus Rift DK1 off eBay. At the time, I felt like I was late to the game.
