What is Creativity ?
the skill and imagination to create new things
The ability to form mental images of things that either are not physically present or have never been
conceived or created by others

entrepreneurship.' John Kao, 1997

What is Technology?
the use of science in industry, engineering, etc., to invent useful things
or to solve problems
the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area
a capability given by the practical application of knowledge
In principle, the term defines both the tool that allows the solution of problems of various nature,
that the technique used that often combines different resources to achieve specific results
• While the technique is a notion that accompanies the entire evolution of man, the term technology enters the lexicon since the seventeenth century. • Technique, means the use of tools and processes
suitable for better and smoother execution of a work; it defines the modal aspect, namely the way in which it creates an artifact (interaction?)
From raw material to product
?
?
Applied science that exhibits features of interactivity, representation, and automatization which enable
users to do things that otherwise could not be accomplished within certain parameters, e.g. time,
precision, etc.
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE TECHNOLOGY IN SUPPORTING CREATIVITY?
can be seen as a set of tools which can be chosen, when considered appropriated, to
support of a creative process
drawback
it requires people to learn the technology before they
initialize the creativity process
Is creativity something for everybody ….

That current technologies we use to access the digital world it seems that limit, or even take us away,
from the real world.
Exploring human creativity in the modern age is as great an adventure as exploring space
Nowadays people can/could choose between
technology or safetytechnology or privacy
but
people cannot choose anymore between the
virtual world or the real world.
VE is the new frontier where to exploit creativity.
…. An immense “immersive” ecosystem
