DCMS Committee to hear from ABBA Voyage producer on connected tech in entertainment
21 November 2022
MPs will hear from artists, producers, and industry leaders on the use of connected technology in leisure – specifically through augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR). The session is expected to explore how innovative entertainment, such as ABBA Voyage which replaces artists with virtual avatars, is expanding in the UK. Questions may also cover the future of AR and VR in the gaming industry.
