How to encourage reading by using VR?
In VRwandlung, virtual reality meets literature. How can VR be used to encourage young people to read and to get to know literature? What is needed to create a VR-piece? And how is it done? The participants of this workshop will be introduced into the mediation of literature with the help of virtual reality and will make their own VR-piece. Participants should go through VRwandlung at the beginning or during break.
