Field Trip: Experience Possible Futures (and imagine living in the Metaverse)

— PHYSICAL EVENT –
This event is hosted by Zeix in Zurich. It will not be streamed or recorded. Please only sign up if you can come to Volkshaus in Zurich. The number of places is limited.
— No remote participation possible —

Can you imagine to play with your grandchildren in the metaverse? What will it feel like? Do we want a future that (at least partly) takes place in the metaverse? Which kinds of tasks can we easily imagine to conduct in the metaverse and what do we never want to transfer a virtual world?

Speculative Futures Zurich and Zeix invite you to a FieldTrip: We arranged for Yullbe Go the mobile VR experience of the Europapark to come to the Volkshaus in Zurich.

For one afternoon we will immerse ourselves in the well-crafted virtual worlds of Yullbe. As we know very well from user research: When we immerse ourselves in a new context, we are much better able to imagine the possibilities and challenges of it.

And that’s what we want to do together with you. We will play in the virtual worlds and afterwards we will discuss the potential and dangers of VR and the metaverse.

About the organisation:

• You don’t have to be there at 2 p.m. You can come later and leave earlier.
• Depending on demand, it is probably best to arrive before 4 p.m.
• There will be 6 different experiences to chose from. (have a look at https://yullbe.com/yullbe-go/ for more information)
• Each experience will last about 10 min.
• If it is not too crowded, you can try more than one.

If you usually spend the Friday afternoon with your kids: just bring them. They can also play in the virtual worlds (at least in some of them) if they are at least 5 years old.
You can contact me at sibylle.peuker@zeix.com if you have any questions about the event.

We are very much looking forward to seeing you there, play together with you and hear your thoughts about possible futures in the metaverse.
