CrossCreative: Immersive – Archived
CrossCreative: Immersive
CrossCreative:Immersive is TRC’s transformative training and development programme for immersive companies throughout Scotland’s digital sector.
The immersive economy is going to transform the ways we communicate, work, and play. With a government focus as part of the Industrial Strategy and global forecasts predicting explosive growth in the market, it is hard to think of a sector that immersive will not have some kind of an impact on.
CrossCreative:Immersive is aimed at creative/tech businesses already working in immersive content/storytelling or looking to develop into this new area. The programme has been designed to help these businesses increase their knowledge of areas of growth and opportunity in this space and develop new business links.
Kicking off in the October, the programme runs over five months and comprises monthly sessions in Glasgow and an international field trip to North America which will give participants unique access to leading companies in VR/AR/XR across tech, content and distribution.
