Video: Ela Darling's TEDx Talk Now Available Online

LOS ANGELES — Ela Darling’s recent TEDx Talk, delivered at the inaugural TEDxEBS event in Germany, is now available to view on the TEDx Talks YouTube channel.

Called “The world’s first VR cam girl,” Darling is known for her strides in pioneering live virtual reality broadcast technology and co-founder and creator of VRTube.xxx and the driving force behind CAM4VR.

Dubbed the “Dare To…” series, Darling’s assignment was to invite the audience to “Dare to See Through New Lenses,” where she expounded upon her life and experiences in which innovation and technology gave her an advantage in an untraditional profession — adult entertainment. 

During her 14-minute session in November of 2016, Darling spoke emphatically about taking risks and following your passion, delivering a message of encouragement and empowerment that evolved into one to “Dare To… Start Over.” 

“I love being able to share my experiences with others,” Darling said. “Being able to share our story of how the company came to be and where we are today compared to the beginning is really rewarding.”
