'Make EVE Real' Guest Speaker
Les Johnson is a scientist, an author of both science fiction and popular science books, and the Deputy Manager of NASA's Advanced Concepts Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center. In his presentation titled 'Going Interstellar', Les will discuss how mankind might someday visit and settle other habitable planets - using technologies that don't violate the known laws of physics.

EVE Valkyrie on the Oculus Rift HD Headset
At EVE Vegas, fans will have an exclusive opportunity to play around with the latest version of EVE Valkyrie in full virtual reality over the course of two days. EVE Valkyrie, the virtual reality dog fighting game set in the EVE Universe, is set to release in 2014 but has already won multiple awards at trade shows, dazzling the gaming press as well as the relatively few who have been lucky enough to try it out so far. To highlight just how exclusive this opportunity is, this will most likely be your only chance to try Valkyrie this winter, and the HD headsets we've secured will offer twice the resolution anyone else has experienced before.
