Agenda

Description

You’ve been told it works, you’ve seen it work, and maybe you’ve even made it work—but why does it work? Even enterprise developers and pilot champions do not always know the robust research that lives in the bones of their wonderful products, and to no fault of their own. The XR industry has somewhat overused valuable terms and frameworks (presence, immersion, transfer, embodiment, recall, DICE, etc.) for the worthy sake of speed of communication to the hoi polloi, but at the expense of breaking down the mechanics that would create a dialogue to push our products and pilots to the bleeding edge of efficacy. This I promise: the words you use will change your outcomes.

To that end, in this talk I’ll cover the aforementioned broad vocabulary, add some depth to each item with research and stories (near transfer, far transfer, embodiment congruency, contextual learning, Zone of Proximal Confusion, etc.), and end with a few practical examples of how these terms will very practically impact your simulation design and execution.

Description

As we embark on our digital transformation, the digital twin has become a more central focus in our strategy. Enterprises with distributed facilities, regardless of how many or few, are challenged to digitalize because our workflows are spread across too many unintegrated platforms. Allow me to share our vision, our journey, the wins, and the pitfalls as we forge ahead into the METALverse with Beamo.

Head of VR Business Development , HP

Description

The rise of virtual care services is an emerging trend to provide medical services without the need of physical presence. However, there are barriers related to the physician’s ability to measure vital signs, emotional and physical conditions, which prevents virtual care to deliver the same level of experience, as is the case with face-to-face care.
We have come up with innovative solutions based on set of our technologies, related to Vital signs measurements, EmoGraphy stress management, 3D depth sensing, etc., to enable AR/VR Enhanced Virtual Care. The proposed solutions try to improve upon existing virtual care by combining remote physiological measurement with 3D computer vision models of human pose and new forms of rendering 3D health information in an immersive and interactive manner, allowing spatially aligned rendering of vital signs data with captured images.
The proposed solution, can be extended to remotely monitor multiple subjects, which is useful for providing elderly care in crowded places.

Description

An in-depth look at the challenges companies & ISVs are facing as they go from managing dozens of XR devices to thousands, and the three key ingredients required to make it happen.

Speakers

Jordan Williams

Co-Founder , ArborXR

Description

Engineers seeking to implement AR in production environments and at scale need to integrate AR-enabling technologies with existing IT architectures. The developers of AR solutions also need to offer their partners, customers and employees a range of acceptable options from which they can choose when developing or preparing to use AR-enabling components in a wide range of use cases and under diverse constraints. Unfortunately, current AR systems are vertically integrated and tightly controlled by the vendor who is offering the component or solutions.

Recognizing the needs of the AR industry to increase interoperability, there are many ongoing and emerging initiatives in international Standards Development Organizations and industry groups to specify standards. In this session attendees will learn the current status of these initiatives. With this insight, customer and product teams will be able to prioritize where to invest their resources and achieve the impacts that AR can offer with the highest flexibility and lower costs.

There is so much opportunity to leverage immersive technology to train, improve processes and drive success in enterprise. In this Fireside Chat, Walter Delph will break down the 6 essential steps to deliver true Spatial Transformation.

Speakers

Walter Delph

Chief Business Officer , Magic Leap

Description

Learn more on how in today's fast paced technological world, new and emerging technologies build upon the old technologies driving the overall digital intelligent transformation. The digital transformation is feuled by advances in technology, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), 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. Applications are already quickly emerging across the broad fields of gaming, entertainment, medicine, automotive, education, manufacturing, enabling the sharing of services, and more. SMEs will describe their experiences to each of the fields.
