About the Conference

Multiple forecasts indicate that the evolution of media and technology will further blur the boundary between the real-word and the virtual world. To better understand how these new realities impact a variety of business and management practices, the growing and interdisciplinary community of international researcher meets at the international ARVR conference to present and discuss recent advancements in the field. This conference has rapidly developed from a small conference on AR, VR, and Mixed Reality to an established conference attracting researchers from business, tourism, MIS, and so forth. The last conference attracted more than 230 people from more than 20 countries to Manchester, UK. In addition, keynote speakers from renown companies, such as Microsoft , BBC, PwC, and Samsung, discussed new technological developments within the industry; a presentation that continues to attract numerous scholars from around the world.

In 2019, the conference will be held at the Universität der Bundeswehr München, in Germany, hosted by Prof. Dr. Philipp Rauschnabel, chair of the newly founded Professorship of Digital Marketing and Media Innovation.

Location

We are based in a beautiful landscape, you can see the Alps nearby. Signs of history are characteristic for the territory, e.g. an old chapel or a former military airport with a huge runway, which serves with the surrounding nature as a recreational area for the whole public. 

​

The basic task of the University Munich of the German Armed Forces, which was founded in the year 1973, is to provide officers and officer candidates with a solid university education. The number of students has increased continuously. Currently about 3,000 military and civilian students are enrolled. 

​

The trimester system, the campus-style layout of the university and the individual academic supervision provided to the students in small groups facilitate the successful completion of studies within a short period of time. The students are awarded bachelor’s and master’s degrees equivalent to those awarded by other German universities. Research and academic teaching at the Bundeswehr University Munich is not restricted, and excellent scientific facilities allow high-level research that is competitive on an international scale. Air and space research or automotive research e.g. in the respect of autonomous driving are examples of our very recognised scientific expertise. We founded a cyber innovation center, which will integrate experts form all over Europe. It is the biggest cyber center in Germany.

​

The University Management is committed to continuously improving conditions for studies and research. The structural reform of the year 2000, which strengthened the university's autonomy and made it more open to the public, has enabled the Bundeswehr University Munich to respond quickly and flexibly to the growing challenges it faces and to continue paving the way for reforms.
