Speakers set to explore the ‘Future of Storytelling’…
This week we revealed details of our session ‘What’s the Future of Storytelling?’ Featuring speakers who lead the way in innovative technology, this session will explore how virtual reality, AI, AR and holograms have changed children’s perceptions of the world. Resh Sidhu, known as the Queen of VR, said: “I’m thrilled and honoured to be part of the Children's Global Media Summit. Virtual reality opens the door to a whole new level of immersion, but we must tread cautiously and we must understand this nascent medium to help it reach its full potential.” Did you know...? Pixar’s 2007 film Ratatouille, written and directed by Pinkava, earned five Oscar nominations and won Best Animated Film - breaking all previous records for animated films.
Jan Pinkava, Creative Director, Google Spotlight Stories.
Gerard Grech, CEO, Tech City UK.
