About

The IVRPA (International VR Photography Association) is a voluntary run, non-profit, international association of several hundred professionals world-wide who create and produce interactive, immersive images. Our members include professional photographers, multimedia and web developers, artists, enthusiasts, students, and companies and individuals that support our technology with software and hardware.

The IVRPA mission is to promote the success of Professional VR Photographers. We strive to develop and support the professional and artistic uses of 360° panoramas, image based VR and related technologies worldwide through education, networking opportunities, manufacturer alliances, marketing assistance, and technical support of our member’s work.

To fulfill our education goals towards the general public and our members in particular, the IVRPA organizes annually an International Panoramic Photography Conference. Previous conferences where held in Berkeley 2007 (USA), Albuquerque 2009 (USA), Tucson 2010 (USA) and Palmela 2011 (Portugal). The IVRPA is also regularly present at Photokina since 2006.
