Places _ Moves
Places _ Moves
This panel is all about the interplay between sport and extended reality. How can Virtual Reality serve health, fitness and sports and which new possibilities are offered by the combination of movement and VR. Especially in mass sports and when it comes to inspiring people for more sports, fitness and body awareness. Various experts in this field meet. This is where scientific know-how (Next Level Sports / Westfälische Hochschule), practical knowledge from the fitness sector (personal trainer Mareike Spaleck) and the social component of sport (Schalke hilft!) come together to discuss the chances of linking technology and movement.
