Immersive Experiences (IX) are playing an increasingly important role in our lives. Think of virtual reality, 360-degree image/video, augmented reality, chatbots, interactive animation and games. Worldwide, IX is seen as one of the drivers of the third major digital transition, which will have a major impact on our daily lives, work, learning and recreation. The CIIIC program therefore looks at its applications in culture, gaming, media and entertainment, events, manufacturing, built environment and government services, among others. Also on behalf of the ClickNL Growth Fund grant program CIIIC, we invite you to join the consortium on May 8 at MindLabs.

Starting at 9:30 am, the program begins where ClickNL will explain the process surrounding the CIIIC fund. This is your chance to get a better understanding of this grant program and how it can support projects. In addition, we will reflect on the future during parallel sessions. What societal challenges lie ahead and how can we address them using IX solutions? A unique opportunity to have your voice heard and contribute to the focus of upcoming grant calls.

The program ends at 13:00, after which you will have the opportunity to join the networking lunch.

10:00 - 10:30 Introduction CIIIC
10:30 - 11:00 Introduction participants
11:00 - 12:40 Parallel sessions:
Parallel session 1: What is the IX gap to train and educate people faster and more efficiently?
Parallel session 2: What is the IX gap to achieve more efficient IX development?
Parallel session 3: What IX gaps need to be closed for wider application in sectors?
Parallel session 4: What are the positive and negative impacts of IX?

We address questions such as:
What is the societal need and what can IX contribute?
What IX techniques can contribute to this need?
The big question: What IX problems need to be solved to fill the IX gap?
Which problems are interdependent?
What research questions arise to solve the problems and bridge the IX gap?
