Explanations.

Do you know about "extended reality"?

This is the new term in vogue to describe half-virtual half-augmented technologies.

Video games, experiential marketing, real estate visits, distance education: this market is rebounding after ups and downs in 2020. It should exceed 200 billion euros by 2023!

We talk about it with one of the entrepreneurs who is rising in the sector, Soraya Jaber, 25, who runs the Minsar studio.

It has given itself a mission: to democratize immersive creation.
