Today Adidas demonstrates once again why they are an innovation powerhouse by completely disrupting their design process through the use of immersive technology. They implement a new workflow that empowers their teams to digitally work together on 3D concepts in space by jumping into the same virtual studio in Gravity Sketch and collaborating from any location around the globe. As futuristic as this might sound, it is actually a thing of the present, and the first sneaker designed in virtual reality is already on the market.
The ease of use of the tool and the fact that people create and communicate in space, pushes cross-disciplinary collaboration to the next level, from design, marketing, all the way to the developers in China, their teams can now have faster decision making due to the understanding of the 3D form at the ideation phase and throughout the entire design process. Collaborative 3D sketching accelerates creative iteration and presents the company with a new era of opportunities in end-to-end digital integration.

The Girl Scouts and The Virtual Wild launched an AR walking trail app call "GeoQuest." It's focused around the STEM Center of Excellence at Camp Whispering Cedars in Dallas, TX. Using Bluetooth beacons, GeoQuest is a location-based app that makes it fun for Scouts to learn about the camp's unique history of buried dinosaur fossils that have been found near an ancient geology trail. Users are led down a walking path and get to dig up digital and real 3D-printed fossils. The app aims to merge a creative digital story with real life and then exposes many STEM careers that went into building the experience.
This relationship between the Girl Scouts or Northeast Texas and The Virtual Wild started with this bespoke project. Now, it has blossomed into a multi-year strategic plan aimed at creating a wide range of innovative projects that will support the Scouts' needs in areas of recruitment, education, transition into the professional workforce, and alumni support. The experience of working together is a great example of how a Non-Profit and a For-Profit organization can thrive together. Ashley Crowe, GSNETX's Chief Program Officer, and Jay Rutherford will lead this joint presentation by offering insight and discussing strategic details from their own perspectives.
