VIROO is the technological solution for deploying virtual reality rooms in companies, allowing you to manage the space and generate your own content, making it easy to bring virtual reality into departments such as Engineering, Training or Marketing and Sales.
Víctor Blanco
A workshop on optimisation at a practical level, using the tools Unreal Engine provides to measure performance and how to improve it. It also covers common mistakes found when using Unreal Engine. The workshop will show a "fake" project with common performance errors (on purpose) and a hands-on demonstration of how to use the tools to find and fix those problems.
Miguel Ángel Viruete
It's a short introduction, with practical examples, to the process of creating this new format. From essential technical tips to the new values of storytelling, presence and empathy. With a bit of transmedia, which at the end of the day is a big part of the content in these new formats
Franck Torrano
The idea is to talk about the need to evolve and generate more sensations in the realism of games, thanks to the movements of the simulators. Talk by Whiplash
David Bermúdez
A practical approach to using video game technology in other professional fields and its ability to open new avenues of expression in sectors such as architecture, engineering and marketing.
Javier Moreno
How can we use Virtual Reality to raise social awareness? After more than 5 years of research, we will address different educational experiences in which we have used Virtual Reality as a technological tool to raise awareness of social challenges that this innovative technology can help answer. GOAL: To learn about reality and augmented reality technologies, their uses, trends, applications and different devices.
Eduardo Herranz
We will review how video games are the great ally of the XR ecosystem, not only in the entertainment market, but above all in the B2B market in sectors such as training (edutainment) or advertising (advergaming). For those who dread smoke selling, we will show examples of real projects from multiple areas and outcomes, where each and every one of them either includes gamification techniques or is a serious game in itself.
Jorge Esteban Blein
Although Virtual Reality is a relatively new field for storytelling, a set of rules and techniques suited to this new medium is already being established. However, a next wave is on its way, Augmented and Mixed Reality, and the challenges it poses for storytelling are enormous, since it will have to adapt to the environment and to the Real Reality surrounding the experience...
Diego Bezares
We will look at the state of the art in Virtual Reality multimedia and video. The most important reality-capture techniques for VR, and their main advantages and problems. We will also talk about interaction and mixing interactive 3D elements with 3D video and photo, and how to make interactive VR applications and games that integrate real-image captures.
Donell Pérez
Virtual Reality is changing the way we see the world (we already know that), but if there is one niche that particularly benefits from this new technology, it's esports. From debunking myths such as a sedentary lifestyle to the spectacle of VR esports.
Natalia Ridao
At least 3 out of every 5 Virtual Reality entertainment centres fail before their first year, 1 closes in the second year, and only the fastest and strongest manages to establish itself in the market and create new strategies. But why does it happen? Where are we going wrong? We want to tell you our story, how we are still running after two years and how we have become the most influential Virtual Reality company in the Canary Islands.
Sergio Hidalgo
We will talk about the potential VR offers when designing and creating horror games. We will look at techniques to increase immersion that were not possible in traditional games, and which old ideas are best discarded.
Billy Carreño
Visual Design as a tool that adds value to the XR product. This talk will set out the importance of Graphic Design in XR products, which through a creative process manages to implement a visual strategy for the XR product ecosystem. A space to discover new paths of conceptualisation, in-house methodologies, recommendations and the experiences of the crew on the Virtual Voyagers team.
Pedro Jiménez
In recent months we have worked with major brands, including Nestlé, Huawei and Flamingueo, for whom we have developed immersive experiences for their customers related to their products.

The challenges a studio faces when making a virtual reality game versus a project that is not for VR
Ariadna Castellanos
Musicians Ariadna Castellanos & Jorge Barrallo (M.O.A) and the XR developers at Virtual Voyagers worked on this augmented and mixed reality project in which the character on the cover of a music album, Monster-in Labyrinth, comes to life dancing in augmented reality on a mobile phone and in mixed reality thanks to the Magic Leap glasses.
Julio M. López
We will explain what motion sickness in virtual reality is, what causes it and how to avoid it, both from the point of view of VR developers and of users themselves.
Eduardo Herranz
Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality are not only changing sectors from top to bottom but completely redefining fields of knowledge such as User Experience or UX.
In this new working context, this workshop is divided into two main blocks:
Block I: We will analyse the main aspects of VR/MR that redefine the User Experience or UX, how this represents a new paradigm and which of these aspects can lead a project to resounding success... or to absolute failure.
Block II: Starting from a hands-on project, we will run through some of the main stages of the new VR design process. We will begin with scenario design and then move on to interaction design.
Throughout the workshop, activities will be run to encourage discussion and debate.
Carlos G Tardón
The aim of this talk is to show the limits and opportunities of mechanics design in VR. It will also show part of the development of TSToM, a serious game for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder developed in collaboration with Puerta del Hierro University Hospital and Gammera Nest.

Q&A round
Daniel Lobo
Working in a technologically cutting-edge field like virtual reality offers the chance to flirt with the research world, continually challenging the industry's not-yet-settled foundations.
The boundary between the two worlds is blurred, and within it an interesting ecosystem of cooperation takes shape in which industry and research feed off each other. It is common to find companies seeking solutions to complex problems and universities seeking to integrate into the industrial fabric.
This situation raises the need for a collaboration that will give the companies involved a pioneering technological advance, potentially setting them apart from their competitors.
The talk will focus on how to identify these situations and how to try to take advantage of them properly in the context of virtual reality, and will be accompanied by real cases of connecting with companies such as Facebook, Unity, Disney or Next Limit.
Patricia Galindo

Pablo Calatayud
We will talk about the different processes we took part in to create Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son. From the complex narrative structure, the design of the time loops, dialogue systems, interactions, puzzles, mini-games, reactions, deaths, pigeons and hallucinogenic donuts. All through the lens of Virtual Reality design and what it means to adapt such an iconic existential comedy from the 90s, modernising it without losing its essence.
Fiesta XR was a private party where only professionals could attend from the VR world (YouTubers, developers, publishers, distributors, investors, artists, producers…). The networking-focused party brought together the rest of the fair's participants and other heavyweight figures in the industry.
