FIRST INTERNATIONAL SUMMIT ON IMMERSIVITY: ART, TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNICATION

Immersivity: success stories and international development trends

With the support of BARCO | in collaboration with PROMO PA Foundation, Immersiva Livorno srl and Bright Festival

With which contemporary tools and languages does immersivity operate? And what are the trends that companies, cultural venues and the world of research must detect in order to optimise the cultural message and make the experience accessible to all? The session provided an opportunity for reflection and debate on these matters by a number of the top players in the public and private sector who are today asking themselves how they can contribute together to providing answers.
