International association for collaborating and networking within the virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) sectors
Living, Breathing Focal Point of the Global VR/AR Community
For almost two decades, our platform has thrived, connecting, empowering, and celebrating the ingenious minds of the VR/AR world. After consolidating its presence across multiple continents, organizing the first-ever fully digital event, and now setting its sights on bridging the divide between reality and the virtual, our association continues its mission to eliminate barriers in our increasingly interconnected world.
Our core mission is to educate, connect, and innovate the VR/AR community. Businesses specializing in immersive technology have considered us an invaluable ally. As we evolve and expand, we remain grounded in our values and goals that drive our work to the forefront. According to our general director, Laurent Chrétien, our platform's objective is clear: to become the unwavering hub and international authority on immersive technologies.
A VR/AR Community Nexus
Today, we fuel and energize the community through international events, research, and informational resources. In order to serve this burgeoning group year-round, we have devised three intertwined projects.
"Our focus is to link and stimulate the VR/AR community," explains Harriet Bartlett, our Community Relations Manager. "In keeping with our vision, we aim to cater to and engage this community throughout the year through three strategically aligned projects: the membership, fostering connections, building, and reinforcing human connections within the community; the European VR Tour, meeting European industry leaders, and promoting progressive projects; and the platforms, forging a connection between the real world and the virtual."
Explore the realm of immersive technologies through the platform
The platform that our website has designed and developed is a unique gateway offering unparalleled access to the three pillars of our website: research, events, and the community itself. Every individual or company can reap the benefits of interaction, information, and promotion tools.
By joining the platform, users will gain access to the virtual world of our website World, a directory of VR/AR solution providers, and a member directory. In the future, members will have access to an event agenda, exclusive VR/AR content, white papers, case studies, and partner perks. Our platform is the virtual meeting point for the global VR/AR community.
Join the community now!
While there may not be a single, universally known "virtual gathering place" for the VR/AR community, vibrant online communities and virtual events are prevalent throughout the space. A prominent example is the Festival of International Virtual & Augmented Reality Stories (FIVARS), founded in 2015 by Keram Malicki-Sanchez and Joseph. FIVARS hosts workshops, panel discussions, VR and AR films, games, exhibitions, and has served as a launchpad for numerous world premieres of innovative projects. Although it's a real-world event, FIVARS showcases groundbreaking work, fosters collaboration, and accelerates the progression of the VR/AR field.
