PARTNERS
Match XR 2020 is created in close partnership with representatives of the Finnish XR industry.
At Match XR 2020 you can enjoy our dear partners’ XR insights in presentations, hear what they have created and chat with them face-to-face afterwards.
Since Altspace supports community created environments, we decided to give our partners the opportunity to let their creativity flow and create their own VR worlds into Altspace, which will be linked into our main hub’s expo area via teleport. It’s an experimental take on virtual exhibitions, and all the worlds will remain linked to our venue and freely accessible for all Altspace users also after our event.
Below we have listed our dear partners and gathered a short bio of what they do and who they are.

We are building a fighter pilot Heads-Up-Display experience for the professional drone pilots in various industry fields like inspection, security, fire and rescue departments, police, military etc.
The concept of raising the pilot’s gaze back to the sky, where it belongs, has brought immediate relieved, astonished feedback from the pilots, them going so far as to say: “This is how it should have been done from the beginning.”
