Playground
Playground showcases breathtaking immersive, digital worlds and experiences that connect the real and the virtual in new and unexpected ways. Free for all! A place to come together and engage with new technologies such as AR, VR, Web3, haptics and more.

We are excited to join forces with House of esports as our official Playground partner of Immersive Tech Week. Their VR experience is already a big hit in the EZones they have on festivals and events.
VR is taking a more prominent position in our projects like GameTime, GameSkills, GameBuddies(inclusion) and GameSeniors(senior citizens). We see a bright future for gamification VR AR and AI in all our activities . We’re in for the better game and VR helps us with that.
