Our vision is that widespread adoption of VR is a transformative event in human history. With telepresence we will be able to control and experience a more meaningful reality and further enhance our productivity. We think that much of our entertainment will move to virtual reality as higher and higher quality headsets and reality capture systems (such as the ones we make) reach the market. We also foresee that much of the machines and processes that humans control today will be remotely operated in only a few years. Further down the road machines will be automated, and the systems we make for telepresence and remote operation offer perfect input to a visual automation system.

Marta Dolska Copenhagen-based Polish-Danish eponymous designer brand evokes snobbistic attention to detail with very freeway interpretations of basic and classic pieces with strong street style influences, PLAYing around with references. Her desire to surprise and excite is a key inspiration with deeply seeded habit for questioning the status quo with gene for experimentation. Tension between masculine and feminine, past-now-and-thefuture, unapologetic attitude, inspired by danish way of living with a very minimal underlying style. Love for menswear and men, in general, inspires her to add men’s fashion line to her portfolio which adds androgyny and transversal touch to her designs with peculiar tailored pieces. She is as much into rave as she is into classical music. Dolska operates around subtle narratives which is a preludium to drama, design idiom that can be both subtle and dramatic. Marta Dolska started to work with Fashion in 2012 altogether with relocating to Denmark, where she continued to work with aesthetics, graphic design, photography, and Copenhagen became her playground.
