A Conference in Virtual Reality!
The visual concept is centered around an amphitheater as a specific architectural form for communication. More precisely, its modern interpretation. The space creates the sensation that the studio is floating between the present and the future, symbolizing movement into an unknown future. This visualization emphasizes the concept of being at the center of change.Within this space, speakers could interact with each other, listen to presentations, and watch pre-recorded videos. Additionally, the virtual amphitheater included an interactive audience section, where images of participants from the online platform were displayed in the stands, creating the effect of everyone being present online.
