“The HIT Lab NZ focuses on helping support people in carrying out their work and leisure tasks. New Zealand companies and organisations regularly come to us, asking how immersive technologies can help them in providing solutions to real problems. Whether it’s Fire and Emergency (FENZ), SnowSportsNZ, or for-profit companies, our students and staff love working on impactful projects.”

“As well as the HIT Lab NZ, Ōtautahi Christchurch also boasts a strong video game and creative culture, with several independent and medium-sized companies, and an open sharing vibe around embracing the future together,” he says.

“We look forward to sharing knowledge and networking with the international community, who was quick to jump at the chance to come to Christchurch next year. Christchurch ticks all the boxes as a progressive, forward-thinking city, easily accessed through Christchurch International Airport, with the opportunity to explore the region after the event,” he says.

Tourism New Zealand General Manager New Zealand & Business Events, Bjoern Spreitzer says “This is a great win for New Zealand, bringing high quality visitors to our shores who will explore Aotearoa and share their expertise and build networks with our local specialists in the growing VR field.”
