The digital revolution has changed our lives dramatically, and technological development will permeate tomorrow’s society in ways we cannot even imagine today. We invite the audience, game developers, researchers and players to the “Big Stage” and we will address issues related to our digital life: Freedom, moral grey zones and how technological development affects us as individuals and societies. How far has the development of VR technology come? What are game developers dreaming up? Can the virtual world become more real than the “real” world? Are we ourselves in computer games?
