WienVR in your Mind: Behaviour, identity, and self in virtual environments

[Hybrid event]

• Can virtual agents teach us how to be better human beings?
• Does the way behave in VR provide clear evidence of our “real” personality?
• Will the metaverse alter our perception of reality and, ultimately of ourselves?

Join us on an afternoon of self-discovery and introspection, with a twist of VR. Let’s have a peek inside our virtual minds and explore what makes us “us” together with professionals from the fields of embodiment research, philosophy, and organizational culture.

Speakers & Talks

• New realities and old questions: what body-mind relation has to do with who you are. (Vera Borrmann, MIYOMI)
• How social is VR? (Klaus Neudlinger, Institute for Cultural Excellence)
• Virtual personality assessment: How does VR help the process of recruiting? (Gersa Tome, PwC)

The talks will be followed by a fireside chat session with the speakers that will also allow you to participate remotely, so have your questions ready!
