Tech x Crea – 5G & Gaming: What opportunities to seize?

The arrival of 5G will have a definite impact on many industries. Its ability to reduce latency (data transport delay) allows us to imagine an unprecedented level of interaction. The video game industry will be one of the most impacted of the creative industries by creating new experiences for its users to new storytelling possibilities. 

TELUS and Behaviour will explore this technological and creative revolution through several questions:

• What type of innovations will a 5G network offer?
• What new creative avenues will open up for video game designers with the arrival 5G?
• How will 5G optimize the player experience?

The Lab TELUS 5G, in collaboration with Lenovo, will open its doors in spring 2020 at Zú. It will be the very first technological exploration space in Canada entirely dedicated to the creative and entertainment industries. Participants will be able to test and optimize their products in a real environment that will accelerate their way to commercialization. Visits to the Lab will be taking place after the conference.
