YORD is a creative-technology studio that designs and creates the next generation of digital products, interactive installations and XR experiences using virtual and augmented reality or artificial intelligence. It creates projects across marketing, education, culture, retail and development and has completed more than 200 projects worldwide.

People don’t form a relationship with pixels, they form a relationship with what they evoke. AI, XR and other new technologies open up new possibilities, but the key is how to use them meaningfully. Using concrete examples, this talk shows how new technologies can be used to turn the viewer into an active co-creator, and how to move beyond the “wow” to something that really sticks with people.
