It was a leap of faith that landed Jacob Tiranno in the world of virtual reality and in his role as Director of Programming at VRLU. With a history in marketing and video production, Tiranno had little experience in virtual reality, but he jumped in headfirst and never looked back.
“It was an extreme learning curve filled with frustrated meetings, sleepless nights and countless mistakes, but now, only four years later, we managed to create the world's largest education repository of virtual reality content,” Tiranno said. Mission-driven, VRLU seeks to provide a place where people can access valuable knowledge and learn from industry-leading experts, and Tiranno is proud to report they’ve done just that. Working with celebrities, professional athletes, top CEOs and more, Tiranno has helped the VRLU team film more than 200 unique VR experiences, producing more than 1,500 VR episodes of immersive content.
Inspired by many individuals in his life, Tiranno counts VRLU founder James Hsu as a mentor and someone who inspires him to elevate others in his orbit. Tiranno is a huge film buff and spends his free time enjoying cinema in all forms. He is family-focused and spends as much time with his wife and family as possible.
