Overview of the Italian XR Ecosystem

AWE has arrived in Florence, Italy!

The city of Florence and the Tuscany Region were chosen as the starting points for Italy's first AWE Nite, because they have always been a point of reference for Northern and Southern Italy. Also, they are recognized throughout the world as very important places on an artistic and cultural level, not only to preserve history but also to be responsible for new technologies that can become tools for sharing cultural heritage over time and around the world.

In this inaugural AWE Nite Florence event, hosted by Cecilia Lascialfari and Antony Vitillo, there will be an opening speech by Ori Inbar, followed by three of the most influential professionals in the Italian XR sector.

Join us for an overview from North to South, passing through Milan, Florence and Rome, of what Italy is currently producing in the XR sector.

What "business fields" are good for VR/AR?
How has Covid brought even more light on AR/VR tech?
What are virtual worlds?
And also…
What does VR production and direction consist of?
How do you distribute a VR product?
And then…
How is a VR festival made?
What future awaits us for festivals in VR?

The event will conclude with a final discussion, in which everyone can participate by asking questions to the speakers.
