Panel on Audiovisual Immersion

‘How to bring culture into the Metaverse ’

Presented by AtlasV

Two years into the pandemic, the closure of cultural venues and viral mutations, the entire performing arts and culture sector has been forced to reinvent itself. New digital technologies and immersion are at the heart of the forced evolution of the cultural sector as a whole.
And the timing has never been better: Whether among behemoths like Live Nation or RCA Records or heritage players like the Royal Shakespeare Company, the "virtual performance" format, broadcast in a real-time game engine or on video, has developed rapidly. And that’s what we’ll discuss in this panel.

This Avant Première Talk is held in the course of the Innovation Day.

‘Virtual LiVe - Virtualization of Live Events via Audiovisual Immersion’

Presented by Fraunhofer FOKUS

Live events are an integral part of our society. From classical concerts to festivals, people need to gather impressions with their own senses. The COVID-19 pandemic as well as ecological and practical life factors, however, can make it impossible to physically attend events. This is precisely where technical solutions come in. But the complexity of new technologies makes it difficult for cultural professionals to offer state-of-the-art services. This is why the three institutes Fraunhofer FOKUS, Fraunhofer HHI and Fraunhofer IIS have launched the project Virtual LiVe, which aims to develop a platform that provides suitable and scalable high-end solutions for the event streaming needs of different industries.

This Avant Première Talk is held in the course of the Innovation Day.
