Do you want to discover what immersive technology can mean for your organization?

Immersive technology offers new ways to tell stories and engage audiences. At the same time, it also raises questions: what can you concretely do with it as a cultural organization? What does it require in terms of time, resources, and knowledge? During the Immersive Experience Day, you will have the chance to experience the work of creators, gain insight into their process, and discover what this technology can mean for your audience and programming. Want to personally experience how VR, AR, and XR work in cultural practice? And have discussions with creators and peers about what it takes to take the first step? Then come to the Immersive Experience Day!

What can you expect?

You literally step into the world of immersive: creators present their work, and you experience it as a visitor. Not reading about the technology, not listening to someone else, but experiencing it yourself. This way, you not only get a sense of the technology but also of what it evokes and how it can impact an audience.

Many cultural organizations are curious about immersive technology but don't know where to start. The afternoon combines experiencing immersive technology yourself with a substantive program. A creator takes you through their work and process. An external speaker zooms in on broader developments in the field: what works, what is required, and where are the opportunities for the cultural sector?

Afterward, you will engage in discussions with colleagues from the cultural sector on various topics: how can I start? What do I need for that? What does it cost, and what are useful tips? These questions are central during this afternoon meeting, organized by DEN and Innovation:LAB for cultural professionals who want to orient themselves in the immersive field.
