Ori Inbar, Co-founder and Executive Director of AWE and Super Ventures will kick off the 4th AWE EU with a special welcome address and his annual state of the industry.



For 50 years, computing has been a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional world.



Now, tech giants and thousands of startups who are seeking growth opportunities beyond mobile have set spatial computing on a trajectory for exponential growth. Most large corporations are adopting spatial computing to improve their businesses driven by strong evidence it delivers measurable ROI, and consumers begin to appreciate the radical benefits of this technology which could signal the next dimension of humanity. In 2019, everyone must enter the next dimension to understand the impact it’s bound to have on their lives and businesses.

Description

Effectively deploying digital continuity solutions such as AR-guided operator solutions require the right combination of applications highly adapted to specific needs and constraints, of hardware implementation (projection, head-mounted displays like the HoloLens, tablets, mobiles, desktop workstation, IoS, Android, Windows…) and of data use and exploitation (PLM and CAD data, field data…). Besides, effectively deploying digital continuity solutions with an optimal ROI more and more assumes the right combination of various technologies into integrated solutions (simulation, IoT, robotics, AR/MR, AI…). Last but not least, effectively deploying digital continuity solutions always requires that players from various profiles (industrial companies, integrators, engineering consultants…) may effectively collaborate for industry-fitted solutions. In this presentation, Diota will share its experience in deploying real use cases taking into account all these key points and will explain how to effectively success.
