Going with the "flow-mo" - taking the Includiverse to Texas.
So we've all heard of FOMO right? - “fear of missing out”. Well, when your at such a large event as SXSW - there is so much to do, there is not time for FOMO - rather you have to go with the "flow-mo" - going with the flow means you don't miss out on anything, you just go with the vibe that suits you best. The week long festival celebrates the best of the creative industries including film, tv, games, music and immersive tech.
Our Smart Glasses accessible solution has made it all the way to Austin, Texas!
One of the highlights has been the opportunity to showcase the Includiverse at UK House - a venue set up here in Austin to demonstrate the breadth of talent and innovation in the UK creative industries. People from all over the planet had a go at experiencing our smart glasses application the aim of which is to increase access to big screen entertainment by projecting subtitles into in the wearer's field of vision, meaning they don't have to wait for infrequent captioned screenings. The feedback has been terrific, and we have made some amazing connections whilst we've been here - hopefully those connections will lead to future collaborations - watch this space!
While we've been here we've been able to find out about and try out other immersive tech experiences from around the world, there are some incredible innovations being created by the global XR community, the creativity being shown here has no bounds.
