Taking inspiration from the format of academic poster sessions, this hands-on, interactive exhibition of cutting-edge researchers’ work urges researchers and participants alike to move their ideas off the page and into tangible forms. Curated to showcase how theory meets practice, and designed to appeal to all senses and a range of tastes, visitors are invited to move through a series of interactive displays, while a rotating line up of our presenters show – and make the case – for their research/projects to the assembled audience of attendees and peers.

This year we will showcase projects from the Immersive Software Engineering programme at University of Limerick as well as students from the MSc in Interactive Digital Media at Trinity College Dublin.

Ticketholders, participants and attendees of Beta Festival are invited to drop in to iD8 Studio on Friday, with walk-ins also welcome on the day.
