The AWE Playground is our AR+VR experience center featuring jaw-dropping, highly immersive and interactive demos not seen under one roof anywhere else (think more Theme Park than Trade show Expo).

Artolution: Virtual Bridges
Artolution leads arts-based programming with refugees and marginalized communities globally.
