The OpenHub team attended the Nordic VR Forum in Hamar, Norway, a premier event in the virtual reality (VR) industry. Together with our partners from the VRINN Immersive Learning Cluster, we explored the vast potential of VR technology across various fields, participated in engaging conferences, and actively contributed to discussions on sustainability and innovation. 🌍
VR Technology Across Multiple Fields
The Nordic VR Forum provided a fascinating insight into how VR is transforming entire industries. One of the most impressive examples was a project developed by Fynd in collaboration with the Norwegian Army, involving the recreation of a tank model in VR for soldier training. This project highlights the revolutionary applications of virtual reality in professional training and simulation.
Additionally, other presentations showcased VR applications in:
✔ Medicine, for surgical simulations and therapy.
✔ Education, using interactive and immersive learning methods.
✔ Professional training, enabling technical skills development in simulated environments.
ReGreen VR at Nordic VR Forum
OpenHub was proud to contribute to the forum through two dedicated sessions on our innovative project, ReGreen VR:
🔹 Roundtable Discussion: We addressed the importance of sustainability and highlighted how ReGreen VR promotes recycling and environmental education through technology.
🔹 Interactive Workshop: Focused on recycling, sustainability, and carbon footprint reduction, our workshop provided practical insights on how VR can support the green transition.
Collaboration Opportunities and New Perspectives
Our participation at Nordic VR Forum was more than just attendance—it was an opportunity to strengthen international relationships and explore new directions for collaboration with global partners.
Conversations with experts and professionals from various industries reaffirmed that virtual reality is a key tool for sustainable and innovative global economic development.
Funding and International Partnerships
The ReGreen VR project is funded by the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014-2021, under the Call for Bilateral Relations. This support allows us to continue our mission of developing sustainable technology solutions and fostering successful international partnerships.
Next Steps for ReGreen VR
Our presence at Nordic VR Forum was a major milestone in promoting the ReGreen VR project and expanding our collaboration network. We are inspired to further develop sustainable VR solutions and share our findings with the international community.
