At the invitation of dr.sc. Suzana Markovic on March 18. at the University of Rijeka, Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management I gave a lecture entitled “Futurism of today: Do we recognize changes in tourism due to the application of XR technologies.

The lecture was attended by about 40 4th year students and many of them via zoom live stream.

I am grateful for the opportunity to pass on my knowledge to young forces, future managers in the tourism sector, and I hope to “direct” them a little into the digital future that lies ahead.

I am especially glad that this is the first time that students have seen/tried VR and AR technology at their faculty, which shows that institutions are preparing (if not already) to implement XR technologies as part of teaching, which in my opinion is a logical sequence.

On this great day, we opened a lot of new topics and opportunities for collaboration that I look forward to.
