The coronavirus leads to the fact that neither business nor holiday trips take place, theatres, concert halls and sports facilities remain empty. Festivals and conferences are cancelled or postponed.
While some praise renunciation and reflection on oneself, others experiment with new digital formats. For many creative people in particular, the cancellation of festivals and events threatens their very existence. They therefore react immediately and try to do the best they can quickly and with the existing equipment (e.g. living room concerts by Igor Levit on Twitter, zoom conferences by XPLR: Media in Bavaria , digital DOKfest.München etc.).
Students and their parents try to use digital platforms to complete tasks. However, these platforms are neither geared to the tasks at hand nor to the number of users. Here the unmet need for digital infrastructure in schools becomes clear.
Now the hour of extended realities has arrived: Digital platforms and VR platforms offer the possibility to exchange information in groups without real social contacts, also globally, to organize collaboration and virtual conferences.
The XR HUB Bavaria sees it as its task to provide assistance and share best practice examples, to pass on experiences and to answer questions. Therefore, last Wednesday, in cooperation with the 1E9 think tank and the LMU, we very spontaneously launched our first virtual talk show on ZOOM “Let’s go virtual: Meeting, learning, working together in the digital world”.
