Here’s what happened on Day 4 of IBC2023, as Changemakers continued with a focus on inclusion and sustainability in media production.
The Innovation Stage delved into the potential of real-time interactive streaming and the immersive capabilities of XR sports.

And over at the Showcase Theatre, sessions including a “Fireside Chat with Ubisoft Film & Television: From gaming to on-screen” and “What is the long-term vision for esports?” sought to unravel the convergence of gaming with other entertainment forms and its future trajectory.
