The city secured the hosting rights for the 2022 IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces, making it the first city in the Southern Hemisphere to host the gathering of over 400 virtual reality experts from around the globe.
Loren Heaphy General Manager Destination and Attraction said the conference was a natural fit for the city and a huge win for New Zealand’s fast-growing virtual reality sector.
In selecting Christchurch, organisers were particularly impressed by the level of expertise at UC, Otago University and across New Zealand, which was a big factor in selection.
