This talk will present a few use cases from Dr. Jayaram’s work at Intel, start-ups, and university to discuss some of the technology and business aspects of bringing VR to two different audiences – 1) to an end-consumer in sports and concerts, and 2) to enterprises for engineering design and manufacturing. What are the challenges in delivering VR based experiences and solutions at scale? What does it mean to weave them into the “normal” way of doing things to arrive at a new normal where VR is a mundane, predictable, and a regular part of entertainment and work?

Without an industry status quo, leading women are stepping up to blaze trails in immersive media.
