Companies always look for ways to create value for their customers and consumers. As any new technologies emerge, they look for ways to grasp the opportunity, changing the world and getting the best ROI. XR and eye tracking are no different. Enterprises who embrace them as a foundation of innovation have increased their competitive advantage.
In this presentation, Johan Bouvin, a veteran in eye tracking for 15+ years will look at the applications of eye tracking and its proven business value as eye tracking is becoming a standard. He will discuss how these successful cases inspire more innovations in the XR applications and create value. Developers and practitioners are invited to explore where to leverage eye tracking and XR in enterprise. And where not to.

In this talk, we show how facial expressions and heart rate can be used as an input. We discuss how they allow us to personalise user experience and how combined with VR, they can help tackle health issues such as facial palsy, but also autism or mental health.
Emteq has a unique approach to help people with Facial Palsy, with tailored therapy for home and clinics. We integrated an array of sensors in all-in-one VR headsets. EMG sensors give real-time feedback about muscle activity, showing patients movements that are invisible in a mirror. PPG sensors give additional feedback on relaxation level. Using an iterative user-centred design approach, we developed a VR application for facial rehabilitation.

Predicting and immersing one with the future is always a challenge and a desire. The IEEE rises to that challenge based upon the work it does on multiple new and emerging technologies through serving as a catalyst for developing new innovations, products and services.
IEEE Future Directions serves as an incubator for these new initiatives. One of its focus areas, Digital Reality serves to explore and enable the coming Digital Transformation through collaboration among technologists, engineers, regulators, practitioners, and ethicists around the world. The Digital Transformation is fueled by advances in technology, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Quantum, and applications using the copious amounts of continuously generated data. By leveraging these technologies and others developed such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Digital Twins, the line between the physical world and the digital world will be increasingly less distinct, thus enabling an immersive intelligent digital world. Applications are already quickly emerging across the broad fields of education, manufacturing, medicine, entertainment, automotive, enabling the sharing of services, and more.
Emphasis will be upon presenting practical applications and its implementations of interest to attendees. Subject matter expert speakers will comment on current and past implementations.

3D face scanning is the first step in cloning a person and bringing the person to a virtual environment with high fidelity. High quality 3D face scanning typically has been done with specialized and complicated photogrammetry systems. The emergence of low-cost and high-quality mobile depth sensors, such as those in Apple iPhone X, helps to fuel the advance of 3D scanning and brings the scanning capabilities to the hands of millions of users. The talk will discuss different types of mobile depth sensors, including structured light, ToF, and active stereo, and compare their pros and cons for close-range 3d face scanning. The talk will also present the unique challenges of 3d face scanning and discuss their applications in fields such as medical, dental, eyewear, entertainment, and 3d printing.

Too often, data that can improve worker productivity is lost because it is not delivered to the right person, at the right time, in the right way. This challenge becomes more acute as the amount of data and the speed of operations increase, placing increased stress on the worker. With a heads up display, businesses have the opportunity to provide information right in the worker's line of sight in simple, easy to understand, efficient ways that reduces stress while improving productivity, efficiency, and safety. In this session, Six15 Technologies will showcase how they are solving the data problem for essential workers from the military to the warehouse, and how HUD’s make their simpler and safer.

Augmented reality is transforming our mobile devices into more interactive and immersive tools. Developing AR technology is a very challenging task that involves highly specific skills in both computer vision and computer graphics. This poses a problem that slows down the adoption of AR, as many small companies might not have the resources to develop their AR ambitions. ARGear is a new AR SDK that makes it easier to develop AR applications so that your apps can keep up with the industry and maybe even accelerate the adoption of AR. Join SeersLab’s Jacob Morton as he demonstrates just how easy it is to create your own mobile AR application using ARGear.
