MEHopper / About / Digital Den
Mary Hopper served as Founder and President of a R & D company that designed and developed 3D applications using Unity 3D and related authoring tools to create fun and informative immersive experiences.
Digital Den also had an extensive collection of both vintage and new immersive hardware (Virtual Boy, Power Glove, Leap Motion, Mindwave, View-Master VR, GearVr, Oculus Rift DK1/2, HTC Vive etc.). The collection was used during presentations and workshops at a variety of corporate and educational events.
Digital Den was among the companies included in this article by Dylan Martin in BostonInno. He did an excellent job of rounding up what was going on in the local VR scene at that time.

Due to the poor state of the XR industry and Immersive Media authoring, Digital Den is on an indefinite hiatus, but you can still find out more about what it was on the old website.

The collections have been transferred to the New Media Museum.
