CIVIT 10th Anniversary Workshop

This autumn, we celebrate 10 years of the Centre for Immersive Visual Technologies (CIVIT) at Tampere University!

A decade ago, CIVIT opened its world-class premises and launched with an international workshop that brought together leading experts in visual technologies. This November, we mark the 10-year milestone with a full-day event packed with insights, demos, and networking.
