Successfully delivering our cutting-edge TEDx event

TLDRoffon

The innovative TEDxUniversityofGreenwich event was made possible by a collaborative team of 40 students, researchers, professional services staff and alumni from the university.

TEDx Çï¿ûÊÓƵ

The TEDxUniversityofGreenwich team successfully managed to deliver the first event of its kind last month.

The event was created using Virtual Production on a large LED wall, to simultaneously allow cinematic filming for viewing on video later without sacrificing the experience of the in-person audience.

According to the feedback received from the survey, the team succeeded in achieving their goal of 95% positive feedback on the directions explored during the event.

This impressive feat was achieved by the dedication of 40 people from across the university, including students, researchers, professional services and alumni, making it a truly collaborative achievement.

During the event, a diverse line-up of seven speakers from different disciplines, industry backgrounds and local partners delivered engaging talks coupled with the virtual environment delivered by the LED wall.

One of the organisers of the event was also invited to the TEDx head office in New York for a video interview to share this novel innovative process created by our team.

There will be three papers coming out of this event: one non-academic publication with our industry partners and two multidisciplinary academic publications with the School of Computing, Stage & Screen and Design.

All the videos of the talks will be released in the next couple of months, and you can .

Keep an eye out on the portal for when we share the talks!

Congratulations to all the team members who made this first-of-its-kind event possible:
