Belgrade, Serbia, 8–11 September, 2024

The scope of the Thematic Track is focused on the development of Web 3.0 in particular in relation to the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) on top of emerging technologies such as blockchain and widely understood Internet of Things. The genesis of those ideas and components came from the video game industry, but also, it has a strong presence in business, medicine, banking, government etc. All that putting on top of Internet of Things (IoT) and other solicited concepts as well as blockchain technologies allows the discussion on the new ideas of amalgamation of the technology aspects.

The goals of the Thematic Track are: expanding understanding of current composition of different technologies cross business areas, including those that indicate the initial or minor presence in business and its opportunity to strengthen its presence, discover new areas of development of discussed subjects, as well as possibility to redesign well known application with the new approach and concepts.

We strongly encourage authors to share their research and observations related to the use of technology in business, medicine or science in a way that increases efficiency as well as ensuring a qualitative leap.
