Experience VR Critically: MApp on Tour Brings Digital Questions to Bochum
At the Blue Square located at Kortumstraße 90, Virtual Reality meets research, reflection, and real audience atmosphere. MApp on Tour invites you on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM to not only try out selected VR applications but also to critically question them. The focus is on digital security, data protection, and the ethical questions of caring.
A Format Between Technology, Everyday Life, and Responsibility
The open offer of the Special Research Area Virtual Living Environments at Ruhr University Bochum connects event planning with scientific communication in an engaging manner. Visitors gain direct access to new digital experiential spaces and discuss with VR companions how immersive media influence our behavior, perception, and trust.
Participate Without Prior Knowledge
The event consciously aims for low thresholds to entry. No prior knowledge is required, access is open, and the concept is aimed at everyone interested in Virtual Reality, media literacy, and the question of safe digital experience. This is exactly where the strength of this event experience lies: trying out, observing, and categorizing.
A Place with Urban Scientific Flair
The Blue Square in downtown Bochum provides the perfect setting for this. The location on Kortumstraße combines short distances, urban life, and an environment designed for encounters and exchange. The format fits ideally into the image of a modern knowledge city where research is not hidden behind closed doors but becomes visible in the heart of the city.
What Visitors Can Expect
Those who come to MApp on Tour will not experience a classic lecture event, but a vibrant mix of demonstration, conversation, and critical reflection. This combination makes the event interesting for everyone engaged with digital culture, media ethics, and the future of VR applications. An inspiring morning with a clear stance and plenty of room for exchange.
Conclusion: MApp on Tour brings Virtual Reality, science, and discussion into a compact, open format. Anyone who wants to not just consume but understand digital technologies should experience this event live at the Blue Square.
