This year, "Venice Immersive" will present dozens of VR and AR projects from all over the world in Italy. We will be present at the event and provide field reports over the next few days. Which projects are worthy of attention? We've listed six XR projects below that we want to experience for ourselves.
"Venice Immersive" runs from August 31st to September 9th, is open to the public, and is an important part of this year's Venice International Film Festival. The show has been relaunched as VRChat's "Venice Immersive World," with the addition of a Worlds Gallery.
这次展览共有来自25个国家的43个项目，其中28个项目将由”Venice Immersive Jury panel”评选获得奖项。他们将评选”Venice Immersive Grand Prize”、”Venice Immersive Special Jury Prize”和”Venice Immersive Achievement Prize”。有很多值得关注的项目，但是将于今年晚些时候在”Meta Quest”平台上发布的”Wallace and Gromit in the Grand Getaway”可能是最为人所熟知的。
