With many advancements going on in the VR field, it seems as if no industry will be able to ignore virtual reality for much longer. Virtual Reality is clearly something from the future, and FIVARS is here to tell us that the future is now. The festival is willing to provide more than entertainment, it wants you to experience the challenges and social advantages of this artistic and immersive way of telling stories.

It is not only video games and content, the VR industry is aiming for much more, and FIVARS is a medium to show people how far we can go. The possibilities are infinite and many are already under development.
