Back for a third edition, SODEC's Atelier Grand Nord Réalité Virtuelle (AGNRV) will bring together the teams of 10 narrative virtual reality projects in development as well as renowned experts. The workshop offers a privileged opportunity for these participants to stimulate reflection on their respective works, to encourage the flow of ideas and points of view, while creating links with the objective of encouraging the work of peer production or future co-productions.
Stretching over four days in Montebello from January 23 to 27, the workshop offers discussions and one-on-one meetings devoted mainly to the creation and production stages.
After the workshop in Montebello, participants will visit during two days various creative companies of the city specialized in VR: Audio Z, Audiokinetic, Centre Phi, Dpt., Felix & Paul Studios, Studio Headspace, Normal Studio and the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT).
