NUX Newcastle meet-ups are kindly sponsored by Orange Bus.
The next NUX Newcastle event is on Thursday 27 July 2017 at Campus North, Sunco House, 5 Carliol Square, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 6UF.
Opening the doors at 6 last time seemed to work well so we are giving it another go. Join us for the usual food, drinks and networking, with talks from guests Shaun Allan and John Shepherd starting at 6:30.
No escape from (virtual or augmented) reality
July’s talks are about building immersive digital experiences using virtual and augmented reality and discussing the challenges and opportunities that the user experience community faces in this innovative and fast-moving field.
