In Milan, via Vincenzo Capelli
March 3 to 5, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. / FREE ENTRANCE

Until Sunday in Milan, it will be possible to visit Future Viewing, the first temporary exhibition of works in virtual reality on the topic of online security created by Google in Italy.
Visitors will have free access to the exhibition, which consists of 10 works visible through Google Cardboard.

Future Viewing works were created by a selection of emerging artists, as part of the project Live the Internet Safely., carried out by Google together with the Postal and Communications Police and Altroconsumo to raise awareness and train Italians in the use of tools for web security protection.
"We traveled more than 2,600 km with our bus, meeting with partners thousands of people in five Italian cities - Milan, Cagliari, Naples, Bologna and Rome - where we carried out more than 4 thousand security checks of Google accounts. Today with Future Viewing, we return to remind Italians how important it is to devote even a few minutes to checking their privacy and security settings," said Vincenzo Riili, Google 's marketing director in Italy.

Tilt brush

Thanks to Tilt Brush - the virtual reality app available for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift that enables 3D painting - everyone can then unleash their creativity by making their own virtual artwork. With Tilt Brush, all you need to do is choose colors and brush and with simple hand gestures you can start creating. The space around will be the canvas on which to move and shift. And, since it is virtual reality, it will also be possible to paint with fire, stars or snowflakes.

Alongside the exhibition tour, you will be able to receive tips from Google experts on staying safe online and conducting a security check of your account.

The appointment is for March 3, 4 and 5, from 11 a. m. to 8 p. m. at Via Vincenzo Capelli in Milan (next to Piazza Gae Aulenti).

NEXT OCTOBER 19, GOOGLE WILL BE THE OPENING HOST OF THE MASHABLE SOCIAL MEDIA DAY ITALIA + DIGITAL INNOVATION DAYS.
Beginning with the fact that video is the biggest trend in digital communication and that YouTube has established itself as an indispensable tool for those who want to communicate successfully today, Marianna Ghirlanda - Head of Creative Agencies at Google Italia - will explain to the audience How to be successful thanks to YouTube, without magic formulas, but with a lot of creativity and the ability to surprise with unexpected solutions.

AND THE SURPRISES WILL NOT END THERE!
