Breaking into Reality
A new kind of reality is starting to appear directly on top of the world we live in. An invisible magical skin that enables sleeping buildings to wake up, imaginary creatures to roam the streets and myriad alternate versions of reality to exist one upon another. More than stories, these are worlds we can experience intertwined with our own and at any moment! Powered by new technologies and our imagination, it’s an exciting, sometimes strange, but wonderful moment to adventure into the metaverse. Alex will talk about Nexus Studios’ journey exploring the possibilities for creating enhanced locations and learning, through a number of pioneering projects, how we might inhabit this new universe, build interactive virtual experiences and ultimately create living story worlds.
