How VR and AR Change the Way We Express Ourselves
Description:
How will we connect with friends 3,000 miles away in 2025? How will we communicate feelings or ideas? Although early in development, VR and AR are shaping new forms of communication that go beyond text on screens and connect us through more intimate modes of expression.
Our panel is made up creators of who have worked in VR/AR for the past 6 years. Coming from diverse backgrounds such as sociology, illustration, programming, and film-making, we will share specific stories around how emerging technologies allow us to express ourselves in new ways with people all over the world.
We’ll also shed light on what human expression may look like in the next five years and provide specific tips on what creators should consider to optimize creativity and bring the best out of humanity.
