Join us for an evening exploring extended realities at the Raven Theater. Experience artists guiding us through their Metaverse creations, followed by insightful talks from Dieter Shirley (Flow Foundation), Philip Rosedale (Second Life, Linden Lab), Justin Melillo (Monaverse), Metageist, Vanessa Rosa, and Gene Kogan (Eden.art), Sam Hosovsky (UCat).

Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) are pioneering new frontiers in how we perceive and interact with the world around us. This track explores how the integration of AI and neurotechnology with XR can revolutionize human-machine interactions. We will examine the potential for XR to provide immersive experiences, therapeutic applications, enhanced learning environments, and novel forms of entertainment.

As AI advances, it amplifies the potential of XR by transforming how we generate content for these immersive environments. AI-driven innovations enable more dynamic, responsive, and personalized virtual interactions. Simultaneously, the field of neurotechnology is experiencing a transformative evolution. With groundbreaking research and development, devices are beginning to interface directly with the brain, forging unprecedented connections between our neural activities and technological devices. The XR technologies are not just enhancing our sensory experiences but are also redefining the very nature of reality itself.
