Many of our technological innovations seem to expand the computational abilities without the human in the loop. Augmented Reality is one of the view technologies that promises technological advances that enable us humans a better connection with the ubiquitous technology around us. We are not there yet to make use of such a user interface. We currently have individual islands of interactivity via AR. This conference may have many spatial demos as well, however, a single ubiquitous layer that penetrates all screens, surfaces, machines, and environments are not available. This is what the PTC Reality Lab researches. The core of this research is the ability to use AR in a scalable distributed platform to bridge among technological domains to allow the weaving of multiple technologies into one user experience. The resulting user experience is called One Reality. The goal for One Reality is to provide one seamless, ubiquitous flow of user experience for all technologies that touch the user’s decision making. This talk will iterate on the different stages of Augmented Reality User Interfaces and identifies One Reality as the 3rd stage in the evolution of AR user interfaces. This visionary talk aims to inspire the audience to think beyond the known applications for Augmented Reality.

Deceptively powerful and stunningly beautiful, this monumental leap forward in conveying the invisible effectively has always been right there in front of us, waiting to be unlocked, hiding in plain sight. All it took was the convergence of human ingenuity, artificial intelligence, and the rise of a medium capable of magic.
Join M. Pell, author of ‚Envisioning Holograms‚ and ‚The Age of Smart Information‚ on a deep dive into the mesmerizing world of visualizing and communicating the unseen data, movements, systems, and forces of our world in perhaps the most impactful use of Spatial Computing and Artificial Intelligence to date.
Book signing immediately following this session.

With many unknowns and opportunities in AR, rapid prototyping has been critical to understand and define what makes immersive experiences valuable and usable. This talk will take a peek into how we approach rapidly designing and building prototypes for AR applications.
01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Virtual reality has changed how we create. From games and movies to experiences and tools, we are just beginning to see what is possible. But what happens when you take traditional artistic methods and transfer them to VR? Learn how Oculus is creating new tools, specifically for Touch, to help more people express themselves.
02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
3D digital design will be as normal as 3D physical design today. Everyplace we go, every object we hold, every action we perform will be designed for our 3D environments. What world do you want to live it? Let's talk about how to make it exceptional, accessible and humanity centered.
04:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Spatial AR has provided an entirely new canvas for designers. No longer encumbered by a 2 dimensional window, UX designers are free to explore a 3 dimensional space. Yet, designers seem confined to traditional UI elements, influenced by standards for web or mobile applications even when we know the potential for spatial AR to present information not just when we need it, but where. Inspired by the concept of embodied perception, Hannah Nye will teach attendee’s DI’s process for breaking old design paradigms. She will teach designers how to influence user action and improve performance within enterprise AR maintenance and medical AR training experiences. This tutorial will be approximately 50 minutes.
