Virtual reality and augmented reality are among the most promising future trends in the IT industry. Their application possibilities are almost unlimited. According to estimates by Goldman Sachs and others, the market for this technology will grow to over 120 billion US dollars by 2020. VR has long been more than just a gimmick. Well-known areas of application in industry are, for example, the creation of virtual prototypes, production planning or virtual training. Other areas of application are visualisations in entertainment, architecture, medicine or education/training.
hannoverimpuls is trying to fulfil a lighthouse function in Germany in this new high-tech field and to give the regional economy access to this technology. In the course of this, hannoverimpuls has made an essential contribution to the formation and networking of a strong VR community at the location. The "HANNOVR Meetup" takes place in cooperation with the TVN Group, LocomotionVR, timmersive and t3n. With up to 400 visitors, it is the largest in Germany.
Activities in the field of virtual reality have resulted in the successful implementation of the VR Lab and specific projects eligible for funding under Innovation+.
Moreover, with the help of national and international cooperation initiatives, a good image has already been established, which should be further strengthened.
