Digital Shoreditch Festival.

3D technology specialist Inition is preparing to host an event exploring 'a new era of visualisation, entertainment and interactive applications' at its Shoreditch offices next week. The augmented reality (AR) versus virtual reality (VR) open day is part of the Digital Shoreditch Festival and will feature a number of innovative exhibits designed to showcase emerging technology.

Among the applications on show will be the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, with visitors able to test its capabilities by walking across a wooden plank above a city. There will also be an opportunity to dissect a heart, lung and foot in an augmented reality medical chamber, and a virtual terrain to explore with the WizDish omni-treadmill.

Visitors can also fly like a bird over an African plain, explore a life-size human body with an iPad, jump out of a plane at 10,000 feet and experience a hyperglycaemic attack – all in virtual and augmented reality. Kit on show will include the ImmersaVu dome system, 4K glasses-free 3D display, Animazoo motion capture glove and the zSpace 'true' 3D interactive display.
The event will take place on May 28th and 29th,
