This event is addressed both to those interested in studying and developing the field of immersive technologies and to the general public concerned about how society will evolve. The audience will have the opportunity to learn about Romanian concerns in the field and to assess the opportunities this scientific area offers. Therefore, we aim to bring together representatives of the academic environment, developers from the economic sphere, as well as representatives of regulatory entities. The primary goal is to take a step towards encouraging stakeholder collaborations in the perspective of subsequent joint projects.
