UPCOMING: #Posifiets, Maastricht Bereikbaar 16/10/2024, 15.30-18.00h
Site visit
During the site visit we’ll learn and experience how Impact Gaming is being used to reduce bicycle congestion in Maastricht’s city center.
The city has had a virtual reality experience developed for this purpose. This lets the user experience what it is like when cars, cyclists and pedestrians ‘collide’ in the street or on a sidewalk. What are the most important bicycle rules? By literally looking through different glasses, users see what the consequences are for themselves or others if they choose to ignore the rules of the game. The development of the virtual reality experience is a project of Goal043 serious games, also a member of our community.
Program
1. Welcome and status of Impact Gaming, Raf Sluismans, project manager.
2. Panel discussion including Hubert Mackus, alderman for economy, Jelle Ummels, projectleader #posifiets City approach Maastricht Bereikbaar, creator Jeroen Trienes Goal043 serious games and members of the foundation Samen Onbeperkt. What are the underlying concepts in the #posifiets-approach and in which ways does this connect to the Impact Gaming community?
3. Time for action: experiencing the physical Obstacle Run and testing the #posifiets virtual reality experience.
4. Exchange of opinions on both experiences. Which considerations would you take into account? Which considerations did #posifiets take into account? In what ways could the Impact Gaming community bring forward the #posifiets VR-experience?
5. Networking reception.
