The innovative virtual production technology enabled attendees to witness virtual environments in real time.

Fakhar Raza, one of the organisers of the event said:

‘Respecting the age-old tradition of storytelling and sharing knowledge, we will add the value of new technologies to that storytelling by creating an immersive space that allows us to enhance human connection and embrace our vulnerabilities. With that we bring you the stories of our pathfinders through these portals.’
