This special, sponsored edition of our VR Brighton Meetup will give you a chance to find out about how the fashion industry, which has always been at the forefront of experimenting with person-centred marketing channels, has creatively adopted emergent technology such as AR and VR as a medium for the masses, everything from AR mirrors as well as 360 video catwalks.
There will be a range of innovators and expert speakers describing how these technologies have revolutionised the consumer experience as well as hands-on experience with immersive demos.
Whether you work in fashion or are simply interested in how immersive technologies could empower this sector, this event is for you. Come along to network, collaborate and learn from likeminded individuals.
We are excited to announce that we will be joined by:
Sanj Surati, Founder of Tiger Heart who has developed an arresting Ocular Intelligence visualisation to show how people, industries and countries overlap. The visual highlighted how the connecting circles and strands of industry bisect and diverge with the smaller circles of the countries. The Ocular Intelligence aimed to ‘beautify’ data and present a simple way of discovering which industries are in the room, where they are based, what trends can be deduced and provoke debate around the need to collaborate more. Previous work has included Magic Mirror (AR) installations for Charlotte Tilbury, holographic live show for Burberry with120 million viewers and the world’s largest holographic installation for Alfred Dunhill in Shanghai.
