Virtual Cinema Lab of ELO and VR Hub of Aalto Learning Centre are organizing  XR Encounters, sessions of meaningful discussions about different topics related to VR field, study cases – showcase of produced VR works. The purpose of the XR Encounters is to offer the chance of meeting and develop collaborations with people from different fields – music composers, actors, chemists, biologists, game developers, scenographers, documentary filmmakers and so forth…and start building the foundation for further collaboration in VR field. At the same time, it’s a nice way for different people interested in VR to meet and exchange what they are working on, like in a peer to peer learning process. People could pitch if they are looking for team members that would help them accomplish bigger projects.

In the long term, the purpose would be to learn about what’s happening elsewhere, outside Finland also.
