2017 Games for Change Festival

In this session, we will walk through a Portal experience, in which people from different backgrounds meet in a constructed environment for dialogues, collaboration, and play across forms of distance. We will also examine contact theory, the political and policy implications of this technology, and previous activations. We will explore the distinction between a relatively "low-tech" experience – one in which participants are unencumbered by a headset – with VR, AR, and MR experiences.
