The aim of this project is to indicate the needs of companies and organizations concerning their use of immersive media (VR, AR, MR, 360° video, hologram). Besides we are doing experiments to find the parameters that stimulate the user exprience of the audience and this through new combinations of visual and narrative techniques and smart objects.
Voor GrowingGifs 2.0 wordt gefocust op vormen van interactie: hoe kan de interactie tussen twee of meerdere tekenaars, tussen mens en machine, tussen machine en machine, tussen tekenaar en publiek en interactie met de publieke ruimte geoptimaliseerd worden?
