Hi! I’m Alix Gora

VR content manager and interaction designer

After an A-level in applied art, I went to L’École de Design Nantes Atlantique where I completed a bachelor’s degree specializing in Interaction design. I moved to São Paulo after graduation to begin a master’s degree in intercultural design. This program was in the Brazilian studio of L’École de Design Nantes Atlantique in collaboration with Mackenzie Presbyterian University. Due to COVID-19, my international exchange was shortened, and I came back to France. I finished my master’s degree in the media design lab of the school.

In March 2021, I joined Lumeen, a French company that uses Virtual reality for social and therapeutic purposes. I started as an intern before being hired as the person in charge of 360° production. Since the beginning of 2023, I have taken the lead on our catalogue of content as the immersive content manager. I try every day to develop new projects that allow elderly and disabled people to have access to the world. I want to enable them to continue to discover, learn and have a cultural life, even if they can’t travel any more.

Furthermore, I am concerned about accessibility and inclusion in the cultural domain through new and immersive technologies. I want to be part of the experiment and development of new installations/products/services that question our approach to culture. Innovation runs fast, and the designer’s role is to predict tomorrow’s needs and imagine new use cases to resolve tomorrow’s issues.
