The Virtual Reality Experience
Friday
An interactive overview of current state of the virtual reality interactions.
In this talk, Janina reflects on the latest evolution of the world of Virtual Reality by showcasing her current concrete work and on how those new devices imply new paradigms of UI and UX - in games as well as in a broader spectrum of fields.
She will then describe a near-future world where our current interface with the world will be replaced by an virtual Augmented Reality one and explore usages of Virtual reality as featured in marketing and game contexts.
