Avatars in the Virtual Festival Headquarters

VIENNA DESIGN WEEK/Martina Menegon

In 2020 VIENNA DESIGN WEEK debuted its Virtual Festival Headquarters, a series of social VR experiences on the platform of Mozilla Hubs. It joins a wide range of 3D-rooms created by practioners from a variety of backgrounds and opens up possibilities for social interaction in virtual reality.

Building on the experiences and contacts VIENNA DESIGN WEEK collected through its digital formats in the last years and reacting to the obvious need to further explore the virtual space as a medium for design, we decided to launch a new part of our event

About VIENNA DESIGN WEEK

VIENNA DESIGN WEEK is Austria's largest curated design festival and has been taking place in Vienna since 2007. Recently it welcomed over 40,000 visitors to around 200 events per year. During ten days in autumn VIENNA DESIGN WEEK proves that Vienna is a "City Full of Design". Overlooked corners of the city turn into stages for design, both critical and playful approaches, entry-level communication and prfessional discourse. VIENNA DESIGN WEEK is a member of World Design Weeks.
