How can we make immersive technologies more equitable?
This conversation brings together professionals from the VR, higher education, and planetarium communities discussing the potential of our work, the responsibility of our organizations to foster diverse creators and audiences, and the opportunity to create a more equitable and inclusive community.
Immersive media has the potential to shift worldviews and foster empathy, and the digital nature of the medium has the potential to democratize the creation of content. How can we make immersive technologies more equitable? How can we amplify marginalized voices, including indigenous communities? And how can we make our profession welcoming to all people?

IMERSA Day Highlights: Simulating the Dome in VR, April 30th 2021,
We were proud to present three innovators for our second virtual IMERSA Day event that occured at 10am MDT, April 30th 2021. Eighty participants who are experienced in immersive production and education witnessed a unique blend of VR and immersive dome production tools and VR space during the most recent IMERSA Day, held April 30th, 2021. The event heralded the first-ever “simulcast” of an IMERSA Day meetup in both Zoom and VR.
The IMERSA Day agenda featured three presentations that focused on the question: what do you do if you don’t have a dome to work in? It’s a question as relevant during “normal” times as it is during a pandemic.
