UPCOMING EVENT: VR for good Seminar – April 19th 2024 @ UU

 On April 19 2024, we will bring together a variety of VR researchers, practitioners and industry leaders within the Netherlands, working on projects around using VR for good. The aim of the event is to map the current VR landscape within the Netherlands, discuss ongoing projects and build a community of practice. During the event, we want to critically reflect on the potentials and pitfalls of addressing societal issues through immersive technologies. By sharing challenges that are faced and different (methodological) approaches to VR, we hope to build an inspiring space to foster interdisciplinary perspectives on using VR for good.

The event will take place at Utrecht University from 09:00 – 13:00. Location: Drift 21, room 0.05 (Sweelinckzaal).

You are welcome to join us! Please contact l.l.herfs@uu.nl to register.

The VR for good seminar is organized within the NWO funded project “Virtual Reality as Empathy Machine: Media, Migration and the Humanitarian Predicament.”
