Gaming Beyond Reality
Gaming is evolving from a separate virtual realm into the operating system for how new generations live, learn, and create. As on-device AI and world models deepen machines’ spatial understanding, gaming becomes a persistent layer blending digital and physical worlds. This session explores how spatial computing, XR, intelligent agents, and world-building tools are reshaping interaction and identity—especially for the UAE, where major investments signal a new era of presence, participation, and programmable reality.
