Information systems have entered all spheres of life. The development of digital technologies opens up a huge range of opportunities. Progress in everyone and industry is proceeding at a tremendous speed, never ceasing to amaze and delight.
The essence of the phenomenon
Digital technologies are a discrete system based on the methods of encoding and transmitting information, which makes it possible to perform many diverse tasks in the shortest periods of time. It was the speed and versatility of this scheme that made IT technologies so popular.
Business and production, everyday needs and the greatest discoveries - new techniques are applied in all areas.
Home use
The number of digital devices in every home is constantly increasing. Computers, smartphones, consumer electronics - it's hard to imagine modern reality without such gadgets. Digital technologies are a unique phenomenon that over the past decades has completely changed the way of life of every inhabitant of the planet.
The researchers argue that the introduction of technological innovations every year will take place at an ever faster pace. It took 30 years for the ubiquitous distribution of electricity in the 20th century, and tablet computers came into use in 3-4 years.
Society is getting friendlier. Huge flows of information that anyone can receive from the Internet make education more accessible. Realize your creative potential or just earn money without leaving your home - earlier one could only dream of such opportunities. Today it is a reality.
saving lives
The introduction of new digital technologies in medicine saves millions of lives a year. Modern developments help to create high-tech equipment for the diagnosis, analysis and treatment of various diseases. Clinical research, which can be carried out using unique empirical methods, opens up great opportunities for the production of hitherto unknown drugs.
Improving the methods of pharmacology, therapy and surgery helps to reduce mortality and improve living standards.
Virtual methods of communication allow diagnosing diseases remotely as soon as possible. 3D printers that make it possible to produce prostheses are the future of such developments.
Breakthrough in the industry
The increase in production volumes with the growth of the population on the planet is becoming a priority in many industries. Digital technology is the way to speed up any industrial process using ultra-precise measurement methods.
The introduction of information systems into the methods of interaction between various parts of the enterprise makes it possible to increase the efficiency of an industrial organization. By creating more and more products in the shortest possible time, industrialists are able to sell products around the world.
Expanding the boundaries of possibilities, modern digital technologies help to increase the pace of economic development.
Reducing the need for human resources in production makes it possible to release the creative reserves of society, directing them to the development of spirituality and culture.
Business promotion
Business corporations are at different stages of implementing IT methods of management and communications. However, it has long been clear that digital technologies are the most correct direction for the speedy development of entrepreneurship.
Automation of work processes within companies allows you to keep financial records based on real statistical data. Using the experience of management optimization allows diversifying production and making more rational decisions in the process of activity.
Business models are undergoing significant changes. Now any large organization has the opportunity to expand the scope of its activities using the global network. Quick access to any geographic point makes business management as efficient as possible.
Investing in digital helps to get an objective assessment of real markets and customer needs.
The world is changing
Promising developments of the world's leading experts are already ready to conquer the whole world. Augmented reality is no longer just a theoretical project. Virtual mirrors are already installed in the fitting rooms of expensive clothing stores. Similar technologies are being tested in cars and on the streets of large cities.
Virtual reality has long migrated from science fiction films to the entertainment industry. Special helmets and suits allow you to experience 100% interaction with the virtual world, guaranteeing complete immersion in another reality.
The Internet is becoming more than just a way to exchange information. Digital technologies allow you to create a kind of copy of the physical world. Each object connected to the global network is under the full control of the owner. can report a forgotten iron, the washing machine will signal a possible breakdown of the mechanism.
The development of IT communications involves the creation of interaction not only between a person and an object, but also between two mechanisms. Information exchange between different elements of the conveyor line, simple maintenance methods, logistics management - these are just a few of the amazing benefits that digital technologies can bring.
The phrase "digital transformation" began to be mentioned more and more often. It seems that new technologies that are actively developing on a global scale will soon turn our understanding of the possibilities of IT.
Internet of Things (Internet of Things, IoT)
One of the key technologies on which digital information is based is the Internet of things. The fact that many household appliances are connected to the mains is commonplace, but gradually, more and more objects of the physical world are connected to the Internet, which makes it possible to collect information and even remotely control these objects. In fact, a virtual copy of a physical object appears on the Internet, containing various parameters of the object and the outside world, and allowing you to control the object via the Internet. An example of the Internet of Things is a device, such as a projector in a movie theater, which sends a signal to the technical support service about a detected malfunction and a list of spare parts that need to be replaced as part of an unscheduled repair.
The next stage in the development of the Internet of things is the interaction of things not only with a person, but also with each other, which will allow to achieve automated interaction on conveyor lines, in equipment maintenance and repair systems, in logistics and many other areas of business. There are also issues that have yet to be resolved: this is the creation of electronics with minimal power consumption, as well as the creation of new communication standards for the interaction of things with each other.
Augmented Reality (AR)
The most promising is augmented reality technology, which allows you to add objects from the virtual world to the real world. Imagine walking down the street and seeing additional information about objects and people around you. Examples of augmented reality already exist and are actively used, in some Moscow parks you can already see marks showing the links between an object in the physical world and the virtual world. Games with elements of augmented reality are actively distributed, there are virtual mirrors and fitting rooms in stores selling clothes, augmented reality is already being tested in cars.
At the same time, there are still issues that need to be resolved on the way to the active use of augmented reality technologies. For example, the accuracy of geopositioning tools is still insufficient or computer vision technologies for linking objects of the physical world to their virtual copies are imperfect. However, it is safe to say that in the near future this technology can clearly be attributed to a breakthrough.
Virtual reality (Virtual Reality, VR)
The emergence of technical devices that allow a person to be in virtual reality has made this technology in demand in the entertainment industry. Helmets and suits of virtual reality, specialized rooms, allow you to get into an unknown world, which is programmed so that all your actions cause a response from the virtual world, which allows you to immerse yourself in it at 100%.
In business, virtual reality technologies are not so actively used; rather, 3D modeling technologies are now in demand there. Examples of building digital 3D models of real world objects are construction companies, manufacturers of complex technological products, oil production, and other industries.
Within the framework of 3D modeling, one can talk not only about building object models, but also filling them with data, which, in turn, makes it possible to optimize managerial decision-making processes and subsequently link product design tools with their production tools.
At the same time, on the way to the mass introduction of virtual reality technologies, it will still be necessary to increase the realism of the display of the virtual world in new versions of devices that will provide an even more realistic presence of a person in virtual reality.
Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies are also taking off. You can see that most of the largest IT companies are actively buying up young technology abhvs that deal with these technologies. In fact, several ecosystems are now being formed, around which services based on artificial intelligence will be created.
Translation from language to language, speech recognition, algorithms for finding the right solutions - all this has made it possible to achieve the emergence of computers with elements of artificial intelligence, which in some areas is already stronger than a person. One example of the spread of artificial intelligence technologies is the active promotion by a company IBM service Watson, which shows wonders not only in the game of chess and Go, but also in making medical diagnoses, as well as in other areas of human activity where the use of computers was previously unthinkable. A driver, a journalist, a lawyer, a doctor - all these specialties can already be replaced by artificial intelligence. And although there are still many unresolved issues in the development of artificial intelligence technologies, in the next five to seven years we will see an explosive growth in achievements in this area.
Robotics
The presence of robots in human life has been discussed more than once by science fiction writers, but now, robots are already coming into our reality. Replacing simple functions performed by people in production allows you to reduce the number of errors, as well as speed up their execution. It is no secret that many industrial companies are actively using robotics in assembly lines and in logistics, which allows reducing the human factor and getting by with minimal involvement of people.
Reducing the cost of industrial robots makes it possible to achieve economic efficiency from their use, and in fact, people only have to follow how the mechanisms automatically produce products without human intervention.
In Germany, even the term Industry 4.0 has appeared, which implies the construction of fully automated production and logistics networks, where machines interact with each other as part of the production process. The combination of robotics, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and 3D printing is already making it possible to build fully mechanized factories for the production of products ranging from sneakers to cars.
3D printing
Another technology that could change the construction and engineering industries. The creation of a huge number of 3D printers that can print products from polymers, concrete, metals and even gold changes the very understanding of the production cycle, because many of the products can be made at home with only a three-dimensional model and a 3D printer.
There are already examples of printing entire houses using specialized 3D printers, printing of bridges is on the way. There is even an example of a fully 3D printed bus.
Mechanical engineering has already actively joined in the development of 3D printing, where some parts are cheaper to print than to obtain by "classical" methods. Clothing and footwear designers are already printing their new products. Builders, jewelers, doctors all of them are already actively using 3D printing in their business processes. A printer has already been created that can print itself, and Chinese companies have begun to produce construction kits, from which anyone can assemble a 3D printer at home. And while technology still stands in the way of printing complex products, it is likely that it will soon be possible to print new sneakers for yourself that take into account the features of your foot as much as possible. And do it without leaving home.
Synergy of technologies
The joint use of innovative digital technologies makes it possible not only to change a particular business process, but to completely restructure the industry, bringing to it a product that was not there before. The most fascinating thing about digital transformation is the ability to apply all these technologies together.
The Internet of Things allows you to combine the virtual world with the real one, artificial intelligence based on huge amounts of data received from the Internet of Things will be able to form conclusions and decisions. Augmented and virtual reality will make the new world visible to humans. And robotics and 3D printing will automate most routine operations.
We can say that the emergence of many breakthrough technologies will change people's lives, destroy a few old ones and, of course, make the world digital. Such a digitalization of the world will lead to changes in all industries, and most importantly, many new companies will appear, while the leaders will be those that can not only stay on the wave of digital transformation, but also lead it.
The education sector, along with a number of other industries (such as healthcare and telecommunications), is undergoing significant changes due to the increasing spread of digital technologies. As usual, trends in the implementation of digital technologies in educational and research activities are set by commercial organizations - private universities, business schools, corporate universities. But public universities and institutions are starting to think more and more about digital transformation.
Have you ever wondered what the university will look like in 20-50 years? Will universities have campuses or laboratories? Or will education and research activities move completely into virtual reality? May be. Let's try to figure it out.
The impact of digitalization and new technologies on all spheres of modern life
Modern digital technologies provide new tools for the development of universities and other educational institutions around the world. Digitalization provides opportunities for the exchange of accumulated experience and knowledge, which allows people to learn more and make more informed decisions in their daily lives.
Among the interesting digital innovations, one should note the rapid adaptation of online learning, which is expressed in the form of the development of blended learning and the active development of MOOC (Massive on-line open course) online courses. The dynamics of the development of online learning is demonstrated, in particular, by the growth of available online courses, the number of which has doubled annually in recent years. There are now over 4,200 courses offered from over 500 universities.
The emergence of a growing online education segment could completely change the landscape of this industry: in addition to doubling the number of courses offered and the number of listeners annually, the projected consolidated revenue of the MOOC market will increase by more than five times by 2020, according to some estimates.
Additional areas for the use of digital technologies in education are the development of digital libraries and digital university campuses, which have already been implemented by many universities in America, Europe, and Russia.
Thanks to digitalization, today everyone can access information that was previously available only to experts and scientists. The world of education and science has become global, now it is almost impossible to find a student, teacher or scientist who has not visited foreign universities as part of academic mobility programs. In the course of unprecedented changes, many universities are trying to adapt and find their place on the global scientific and educational map, while maintaining their unique qualities and competitive advantages.
The questions that universities are now facing come down to choosing a strategy for further development and choosing the direction on which they plan to focus. It is obvious that a digital transformation program should already be developed to move to a competitive educational and research model in the future.
Why is digitalization important for universities right now?
Universities seeking to maintain their positions in the global education market are faced with the task of entering the international scientific and educational space. In particular, some of the criteria in the QS World University Ranking assess the degree of university globalization in terms of the share of foreign students and teachers. THE ranking takes into account the share of foreign students, the share of foreign teachers and the number of articles published in co-authorship with foreign research groups.
Among the strategies of universities for integration into the international educational space are the creation of open international campuses in other countries, the attraction of foreign scientists, teachers and students, the support of academic mobility programs for their own scientists and the organization of foreign practices for students.
Trends in globalization are clearly confirmed by statistical data on the dynamics of the number of international students. The dynamics for OECD countries shows an annual 5% increase in the number of foreign students. In addition, according to ICEF Monitor by 2020, it is planned to increase funding for the Erasmus + academic mobility program by 40% - up to 14.7 billion euros.
While countries with traditionally high quality education, such as the US and the UK, remain attractive to international students, new countries and regional educational centers are emerging in this field, competing for educational income and the intellectual capital of international students. Russia may become such a center in the future.
Every university, regardless of the chosen strategy, must undergo a digital transformation. Such a transformation consists not only and so much in the implementation of IT solutions, but in general is a significant cultural and organizational change at the university. The transition to a digital university involves the introduction of more flexible and seamless processes, a change in corporate culture, and process optimization.
The urgency of the transition is due to several factors. Firstly, at present, almost all students belong to the generation of digital natives, they demonstrate a much greater propensity to use new technologies in their daily lives. Especially it concerns IT and Internet technologies, as well as their application not only in the professional sphere, but also for socialization and communication. Thus, the digitalization of the university will make it more adapted to the target audience. This will definitely lead to an increase in the competitiveness of the university in the education market, creating additional value and attracting students.
The second argument is the increase in competition among universities, especially the top universities. Due to the globalization of the market, the struggle for a student will no longer take place within one country or a cluster of countries, but at the international level. Thus, the creation and preservation of the competitive advantage of the university will be determined by the timeliness of the introduction of new technologies and, as a result, the readiness for fundamental shifts towards a new generation educational system.
The third argument comes from the need to digitalize the internal processes of the university in order to increase the efficiency of interaction between departments at the level of the entire educational institution. This is necessary to carry out all the innovative and cultural transformations that are required from the university in the transition to a new educational model.
What does digitalization mean for universities? What areas of university life are most susceptible to digitalization?
In the course of many years of work with Russian and foreign universities and business schools, we have formed a conceptual model of a digital university, which consists of five levels, etc. supporting platform.
First level the most important, it is represented by scientific and pedagogical workers (SPR), students, industry and academic partners of the university, graduates and applicants. The first level is, in fact, the internal and external stakeholders of the university.
Second level represented by basic information services. Their task is to create a single information space for digital interaction within the university using flexible tools. Examples of such services are video screens for lectures and seminars, wireless communication throughout the university (including dormitories), cloud storage for data storage and exchange, professional printing, etc.
Third level includes services that greatly facilitate the life of students and faculty at a modern university. For foreign teachers and students, they are already an obligatory element of the university; in Russian universities, a number of services are still at the initial stage of implementation.
The digital library provides student or teacher access to scientific literature from any device, regardless of location and time of day. Many modern universities are merging traditional and digital libraries in terms of end user experience. So, for example, in a traditional library, you can find and read a book or a magazine from the library computer, while at the same time, any user can find a book in the library's electronic catalogs and get it when they come to the campus. This convergence of traditional and new technologies provides a higher level of comfort for students and teachers and positively affects the image of the university.
The digitalization of scientometrics consists in monitoring, accumulating and analyzing scientometric information using modern methods of storing and processing large data arrays. This direction is extremely important for universities, as it serves two purposes. The first goal is to identify promising research areas that are now the most relevant for the university. The second goal is to determine the current indicators of the publication activity and citation of the university.
Fourth level is the most resource-intensive in terms of implementation, but at the same time allows the university to get the highest added value. It consists of services such as digital marketing, research project management, procurement management, interaction with applicants and students.
Digital marketing is a new area for Russian universities aimed at solving the following tasks:
organization of interaction with teaching and support staff, academic staff, students, applicants, graduates using the entire modern range of digital communication channels;
monitoring changes in the perception of the university brand in target markets based on the results of research and monitoring of social networks; carrying out preventive and reactive measures to form a positive image of the university;
stimulating the creation of new digital communities and innovations at all stages of the educational cycle, as well as communication of the content of educational programs and features of student activities for applicants;
· development of personalized marketing materials for target audiences based on the analysis of data from different sources.
Interaction with applicants and students includes the following tasks:
· the use of digital technologies to interact with applicants and inform them about the stage of processing applications for admission;
use of analytics to identify the most promising applicants and increase their enrollment rate;
· the use of various communication channels - both digital and traditional - to provide applicants with the most complete information about the university. This task is most relevant for foreign applicants who cannot visit the university and want to form an idea about it using information from the Internet;
using analytics to identify the most successful and least successful students;
automation of the so-called. student office.
Fifth level consists of digital technologies that are highly likely to become widespread in the university environment from 2018-2019. Such technologies, for example, include drones (unmanned aerial vehicles). A recent PwC study estimated that the global market for potential applications of drone solutions was $127 billion in 2015. Of course, it seems logical to us that universities, especially technical universities, would want to participate in the development of this market. In this context, as a first step, universities will actively introduce drone technology into the domestic educational and research space, purchasing equipment, setting up laboratories, encouraging students and researchers to test and work with new technology. This trend is already being seen in several American universities.
The transition to a digital university is impossible without support activities aimed at introducing changes in the university. Such activities may include:
· development of optional or mandatory modules within the framework of training programs aimed at increasing digital literacy among students;
· supporting academics who set trends in the development of digital skills and develop innovative teaching methods;
· Encouraging the advanced use of learning platforms by the NDP in order to ensure better student learning outcomes and improve the efficiency of the university as a whole;
· providing assistance to those CPD who have less advanced skills in the use of digital technologies.
In our opinion, in order to move to a modern level, a university must adequately cover all levels of the digital university model described above and constantly maintain feedback with key stakeholders - students, academic staff, industry and academic partners, graduates, applicants.
Strategy for the transition to a digital university
While transitioning to the rules of the digital age can be a huge challenge, universities that develop the right business strategy to embrace digital technologies can take advantage of a wide range of new opportunities to work with students, faculty, administrative staff, and external stakeholders. .
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to achieving concrete results through the use of digital technologies. But by listening to the opinions of end users, you can get valuable information and use it as a basis for further actions.
The university, providing carte blanche to individual employees to implement new methods of working with digital technologies, as well as providing support in solving these problems, can receive a powerful impetus to transform into an educational institution of a new format with optimized internal processes.
We believe that a university digital transformation project should be initiated by top management and supported at the level of institutes/faculties/strategic academic units/departments. The latter should take personal control over the implementation of activities aimed at achieving the required results, and link their action plans with the overall development strategy of the university.
Improving the IT service should be carried out both in the technological direction, within which it is planned to use new IT methods and approaches, and in the direction of simplifying the interaction of stakeholders with these technologies. We see the following priority tasks of the IT service in the context of the digital transformation of the university:
· tracking technological innovations and advising on options for their possible use to achieve the goals set for the university;
· improvement of policies and procedures aimed at stimulating the use of innovative digital technologies among the administrative staff of the university, students and scientific and pedagogical workers;
Providing maximum open and convenient access to information resources and systems in order to ensure the possibility of using data through new technologies;
· optimization of the use of cloud solutions to stimulate innovation and rapid turnover of new digital functionality, products and systems.
The role of the personnel management service in the course of digital transformation is to develop a comprehensive program for training personnel for the introduction of new technologies:
· development of employment contracts and continuing education programs to ensure continuous development of digital literacy skills;
· giving learning processes, along with the processes of scientific activity, an important role in promoting innovation in the development of new methods and ways of learning with the maximum use of the potential of digital technologies.
Conclusion
We live in an interesting time, when the concentration of new digital technologies is greater than ever. These technologies are already affecting universities. We believe that universities still need to transform significantly in order to realize the benefits of digitalization and provide more opportunities for applicants, students, faculty and partners. Transformation is impossible without the development and implementation of a conscious digitalization strategy that would take into account the peculiarities and specifics of the university's activities. What strategy will you choose?
The production of security documents is the most important traditional activity of JSC Goznak, in which the company has achieved great success. For many decades, paper was the main material for the production of documents. But the requirements for the production of this security product have undergone significant changes in recent years: (1) more and more plastic is used in the production of documents; (2) documents are equipped with electronic information carriers. These trends have presented the company with new research and development challenges.
Today, one of the most important activities of JSC Goznak is the development and implementation of new generation products and services. And above all, a full range of production and personalization of identification documents.
Documents on plastic media, new generation security products assume the presence of a machine-readable tool - a barcode, a QR code, an RFID tag, which are used as an element of additional authentication control and for access to external databases. Our company has a successful experience in creating products using bar and QR codes. Among other things, the specialists of FSUE Goznak produced the first circulation of postage stamps in Russia with a two-dimensional barcode. The stamp depicts the official logo of the XXII Olympic Winter Games 2014 in Sochi and a matrix code (QR-code), with which you can quickly get to the official website of SOCHI-2014 using a mobile device.
The next stage of digital technologies is electronic information carriers - microcircuits, which in fact are microprocessors of varying complexity. The market is increasingly using electronic media - contact, non-contact, with a dual interface.
Goznak managed to develop, implement and master the production of new generation documents in a short time. The company has successfully mastered the technology of producing ID-1 documents (identification cards) and ID-3 (passports) with digital media. Using a contactless microchip, JSC Goznak manufactures new generation passports. When making an electronic compulsory medical insurance policy (POMS), a contact microcircuit is used. When developing and creating the Universal Electronic Card (UEC), a dual interface was used.
This required research and development work in the field of selection of materials, methods for attaching microcircuits to an antenna, methods for fixing microcircuits in a plastic product. As part of the development of protective elements for plastic products, the following items were created: an element made by a laser with a personalized image (“Glare”); cards with a transparent window; color-changing elements based on embossing.
Our company not only produces electronic documents, but also personalizes them using graphic and electronic technologies.
The main personalization center, established in 2006 at the Goznak Moscow Printing Factory, produces up to 5 million international passports with an electronic data carrier per year.
In 2012, the Multifunctional Personalization Center at the Goznak Moscow Printing House was put into commercial operation - an important segment of the state system for the production, execution and control of new generation passport and visa documents (GS PVD NP). On this platform, the process of personalizing passports with a domestic-made microchip, the Universal Electronic Card, compulsory health insurance policies, and payment cards has been organized and mastered.
The multifunctional personalization center is certified for compliance with the requirements and standards of the MasterCard international payment system for physical and logical security. Earlier, GOZNAK certified the infrastructure for manufacturing bank card blanks in accordance with the requirements of MasterCard and Visa international payment systems.
Goznak JSC has the opportunity to increase production volumes and personalize electronic documents for a wide range of purposes.
In the production of personalized documents with an electronic data carrier, the subdivisions of JSC Goznak work with personal data. This means that the company is obliged to ensure a high level of safety of production processes, create a secure system for processing and storing data. And this is another task successfully solved by Goznak.
The complex of the state system for the production, execution and control of new generation passport and visa documents (GS PVD NP) also includes the Center for processing and storing electronic data. JSC Goznak offers public authorities and state non-budgetary funds the placement of external information systems on the company's technological sites, services for long-term and guaranteed storage of electronic documents and information, as well as the provision of electronic services on its basis.
One of the developments of Goznak specialists in the field of digital technologies is already protected by a patent.
This time there are a lot of interesting things on the stands at the forum. For example, examples of how the "number" will help people with cancer and prevent any fire

The annual International Festival "Open Innovations" has opened in Skolkovo. This time the theme of the festival is dedicated to the digital economy. The forum is designed to show innovative achievements in all significant areas of the economy. And not only the economy, but life in general.
The big black building contained a huge number of stands with participants, plus several stages where lectures on current topics were continuously held. Among the speakers of the first day, one can distinguish the founder of the Kickstarter crowdfunding service Charles Adler, the famous futurist Michio Kaku and the Russian director Timur Bekmambetov.
Many interesting things can be found on the stands. For example, OncoUnit can significantly help cancer patients with choosing the right medicine. Moreover, to do this on the basis of DNA analysis, says the company's CEO Dmitry Chebanov:
Dmitry Chebanov CEO of OncoUnit“One of the offices is located here - in the Skolkovo innovation center. A person comes to us with the results of a biopsy. Everything, then we transfer the material to the laboratory, work with it, extract and read the DNA. We pass the results obtained from the laboratory through our software product, which gives the result, namely, which treatment is suitable for this particular patient.”
There is also a fire prevention system. In 2016, Open Innovations was remembered, among other things, by a fire due to problems with wiring, which ended with the evacuation of Prime Minister Medvedev. You can prevent a fire, says Boris Korol from the company "ThermoElectrica":
Boris Korol representative of the company "Thermoelectric"“The solution is based on an interesting property. When heated, special stickers made of gas-filled plastic, glued to the contacts, release gas at a pre-emergency temperature of 120 degrees. This means that something is wrong with the contact. Further heating may cause a serious accident. The gas emitted by the sticker is captured by a special gas analyzer - a sensor-detector. It sends a signal to the receiving and control device, notifying the dispatcher that something has gone wrong in a particular electrical cell.
Now, if someone burns on the forum, it will be only figuratively. VR technology has become a separate trend of the forum. If earlier virtual reality glasses were needed to make zombies from a computer game scarier, now VR technology can help you decide on the design of an apartment or join art.
At the Rosnano booth, wearing a virtual reality helmet, you can go to Baikal, where a huge art object “Baikal Guardian” will soon be installed. It is not there yet, but you can enjoy the beauties of the nature of Eastern Siberia, as if live, already now, said Alexander Bragin, CEO of VR 2 GO:
Alexander BraginCEO of VR 2 GO“Now the Tretyakov Gallery is hosting a biennale of contemporary art. The work of Dasha Namdakova "Keeper of Baikal" is exhibited there. For it, we implemented VR Experience, which allows you to travel to Baikal and look at the sculpture in its maximum size of six meters. We were approached by the Frida Art Foundation with the task of developing a VR Experience for the Biennale. We sent for filming with a 360 camera to Olkhon Island, where the sculpture will be installed at the end of October.”
It is easy to get lost within the walls of the technopark when traveling through virtual worlds. Neural networks, blockchain, quantum technologies, ventures - you can disappear at these stands for hours. The main thing is to return to reality after that.
