The web-based augmented reality game, launched on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Belvedere Museum, takes children and families on a thrilling adventure through the Baroque palace gardens. The grounds of the Belvedere were once home to a menagerie – one of Europe's earliest zoos - where Prince Eugene gathered animals from around the world. Six of these animals are now the protagonists of the new Fantastic Palastics game: Roco the Lion, Neo the Lemur, Rena the Gazelle, Pop the Sheep, Dada the Ostrich, and Flux the Porcupine. The Fantastic Palastics game brings the history of this World Heritage Site to life with AR technology by Niantic 8th Wall. The game was developed in collaboration with The Brand Father and Orb Amsterdam and powered by Niantic 8th Wall. Wolfgang Bergmann (CFO Belvedere) and Doruk Eker (Orb) will talk about the development and learnings of this innovative project.
Come to the Belvedere Gardens and play the game while you are in Vienna: www.belvedere.at/game

The presentation "Scaling VR Simulation Production in the Oil & Gas Industry" explores the rapidly expanding application of virtual reality (VR) in the energy sector. Particular focus will be on Linde, a leading global industrial gases and engineering company, that has been at the forefront of utilising VR technology to enhance their training and operations.
This case study will explore how Linde has successfully scaled their VR simulation production, the challenges they've encountered, the solutions they've implemented, and the impacts on their operational efficiency and safety performance. We will examine the strategies Linde used in building their Virtual Academy, the key learnings from their journey, and how these insights could be applied across the Oil & Gas industry in the face of increasing operational complexity and safety challenges.
We will discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with the large-scale production of VR simulations and we will explore the current state of VR technology, its potential for creating safer and more effective training programs, and the barriers to its wide adoption. We'll also delve into the production of VR simulations, discussing scalability strategies, cost optimisation, and quality control, as well as highlighting successful case studies from the field.
Attendees can look forward to a comprehensive understanding of how to design, produce, and deploy VR simulations at scale, as well as insights on addressing the unique demands of the Oil & Gas industry.
This presentation is ideal for industry professionals, VR solution developers, and educators interested in leveraging cutting-edge technology for practical and high-impact applications in the energy sector.
