Combining education and gaming is rewarding. However the balance is delicate to obtain. It must be designed as a whole rather than a traditional education program with gaming elements.

We will discover during this event the educational power of digital media to increase the impact on users thanks to specalists in different fields such as education, robotic, videogame and mixed realities.

Details of the event to be released soon.

The latest developments offer unique perspectives on the human anatomy by going beyond the arthroscopic view into a fully immersive experience.

VR FOR TRAINING, REHABILITATION, AND PHYSICAL EXERCISING

Have a glimpse into the EPFL research group that takes advantage of our full-body movements to achieve new classes of tasks.

This Visit will be hosted by Ronan Boulic, who leads the research group on Immersive Interactions at EPFL as a senior scientist and has been involved with research interests such as 3D interactions, motion capture, modeling, and synthesis for virtual humans and robots.

During this visit, IIG student Sidney Bovet will also present his Master’s project in Computer Science: a system to help physical therapy patients stay motivated throughout their treatment by amplifying their movements in Virtual Reality.

Following the Lab Visit:
two live demos demonstrating full-body avatar control + a networking apero
= a valuable time investment for curious minds & connoisseurs of R&D in VR!

FREE entry but mandatory registration here via our Eventbrite link, places are limited to 25!

Promoting Switzerland’s creativity as well as artistic and technological skills in the field of VR is one of the battlegrounds of WVRF. In partnership with the (post) production company Freestudios, the laboratory proposes to inspire, support and encourage Switzerland’s audiovisual authors, directors and technicians.

Join and discover this multitasking environment and space, a fascinating hub of creativity and technology.

The World VR Lab team will introduce its current projects and talk about the world of possibilities that VR exploration offers!

This Industry Visit is open for all: curious and specialized minds!

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing a networking moment around learning from the top trends in XR (expended reality: AR/VR/MR).

En partenariat avec Alp ICT, Virtual Switzerland propose aux industriels de découvrir les solutions innovantes développées par plusieurs sociétés dans la réalité virtuelle et augmentée, avec des cas concrets et des démonstrations pratiques.

Ce moment d’échange sera suivi par un cocktail réseautage.

Nombre de places limité – réservation obligatoire: info@alpict.com
