In 2022, VRTO returned to an in-person event at OCAD University with Keram Malicki-Sanchez and Aimee Reynolds as producers. The marketing campaign used GAN-created muppets with the Midjourney AI platform and the tagline “Where Fresh Ideas Are Born.” The 2-day conference had notable speakers like Dr. Alexis Morris, Dario Laverde HTC Vive, Justin Cathcart (Dark Slope), and the lead team of virtual production from VFX studio Pixomondo who shared secrets behind the creation of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Star Trek: Discovery. The conference focused on spatial media’s impact on media creation, covering topics like live VR theater, Hyperreality TV, natural-language Holodecks, and haptic technology. Over 200 attendees from North America participated in the event.
