VR - BUZZ, BLUFF OR BLING

Criticism and reflections on virtual reality
This event, destined to a large public, gathers academics, creators, game designers and philosophers of international fame to reflect on the real issues and challenges of virtual reality. Our aim is to take a passionate, critical and thorough look at VR, and to think out what VR can bring and change to storytelling through its assets, strengths and weaknesses.
