Exploring the Future of Media at nextReality.Festival 2024

The nextReality.Festival 2024 is more than just an event – it’s a platform for the latest innovations and trends in immersive technologies. Organized by nextReality.Hamburg e.V., the festival brings together the XR community in Hamburg for two days filled with inspiration, networking, and cutting-edge ideas. Featuring conferences, exhibitions, awards, and networking opportunities, the festival offers a unique chance to experience and actively shape the future of VR, AR, and MR.

This year, Sven Bliedung von der Heide will be a featured speaker, presenting “How Digital Humans and AI Are Changing the Media Industry”. In a rapidly evolving landscape of digital content creation, technologies like XR, AI, and volumetric capture are transforming immersive media. Sven will dive into how digital humans and AI are reshaping next-generation content, including advancements in creating lifelike digital doubles and the innovative AI methods revolutionizing Hollywood – from generating realistic digital actors to enhancing storytelling.

Sven will also share insights on the XR platform Voluverse, which enables seamless integration of these digital beings into dynamic environments, offering new possibilities for immersive media. In addition, he will discuss the pioneering use of volumetric capture technology, which captures people in photorealistic detail to create digital twins that move between 2D films, immersive 3D experiences, and more. This talk will explore how these innovations are pushing storytelling boundaries, from hyper-realistic avatars to fully interactive digital spaces, giving attendees a glimpse into a future where technology blurs the line between virtual and real, bringing audiences lifelike experiences like never before.
