'Fortnite' insiders suggest that a significant feature inspired by 'Fall Guys' is on the horizon as part of a previously rumoured crossover event.
From emergency-service rescue robots, through VR for the workplace, to the intelli-tech allowing entire cities to be run by Artificial Intelligence (AI), Gitex Technology Week - taking place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from October 14 to 18 - is inviting visitors to 'Experience Future Urbanism'.
The five-day summit is held side by side with Gitex Future Stars (October 14-17), the Mena region's platform for bringing award-winning 'techpreneurs' to investors, where over 850 international startups will have the chance to meet more than 1,500 investors and corporate buyers.
Think products that are beyond reality: AI that can interpret emotion through voice (Empath) or predict fashion trends (Stylumia); a wearable, real-time translation earpiece (Timekettle); or even Healthcare firm Bioniks, who have amalgamated robotics and 3D printing to create Iron Man style prosthetics. Developers of space tech will also be involved, shooting for the stars in the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre's Innovation Cup - one of four industry-sponsored Innovation Cups.
With 5,000+ firms from more than 100 countries exhibiting over 1.4 million square feet of floor space, Gitex Technology Week and Gitex Future Stars will welcome more than 100,000 visitors when they get underway next month.
Trixie LohMirmand, senior vice-president of events management at the Dubai World Trade Centre, said: "Advances in digital, communication and even biological technologies aren't just transforming the way we interact with each other, they are fundamentally shaping how we experience the city around us.
"This year, under the theme of 'Experience Future Urbanism', Gitex Technology Week will showcase how new innovations and solutions can enrich the level of human, economic and cultural development of our world, both individually and collectively."
