The Space Expanse
While scientists and technologists are fascinated with outer space exploration; Galit explores how we will unleash a new era of space exploration – right here on earth. Through the application of immersive tech, humanity will revisit the familiar physical space and create a new experiential universe.
In her talk, Galit will talk about the opportunities and challenges of such new space, where the boundaries between the public and the private, the tangible and the infinite, and the real and fictional no longer exist.
