Children's animation technopark on the basis of Kalibr JSC prepared a master class “The Evolution of Visual Effects in Cinema”. Different scenes from old and new films will be presented to visitors for comparison - from mechanics to fully virtual reality. Technopark teachers will briefly describe how such effects are created and, in real time, together with visitors, they will try to reproduce the same effects using a virtual reality helmet and augmented reality glasses. During the festival, teachers will also talk about the activities of the children's technology park and the opportunities of existing classes and laboratories.
