Getting started with HP Omnicept SDK

Session Description:

Get started developing with the HP Omnicept platform in this two-day workshop! Learn how to utilize the biometric sensors, Cognitive Load inference engine data and other HP enabled features to create adaptive VR experiences driven by a user's natural response in real time. In this workshop, you will complete a development project in Unity and hear from HP Labs research scientists on how cognitive load can be a powerful tool for virtual reality development. All attendees will receive a 90 day free trial (this is an exclusive extended trial for this AWE course) of the HP Omnicept SDK along with access to a hardware simulator to send sensor messages to your application.

What you’ll learn:

• How to transform app development using data driven insights from the HP Omnicept platform

• How to access biometric sensor data like eye gaze, heart rate, and mouth camera images from the Omnicept headset

• How to enable foveated rendering and HP’s 3D spatial audio for your development

• What cognitive load means for VR and how it can be used in various industries
