360 XR gaming technology is immersive, inner-active, and at the very least cool. It is the main driver of the metaverse industry. Immersive VR Video and VR Filmmaking is a huge departure from traditional filmmaking. Come learn from this panel how they capture reality “as real as it is” and tell their stories in a 3D Metaverse. VR as a medium, has the ability to transport the mind without ever having to leave the comfort of your own home. With this comes a great ethical responsibility for anyone creating in the VR Metaverse.

Join us for a provocative and engaging conversation as we discuss the elements of storytelling as it applies to VR; how VR can expand your brand; and the responsibility that falls to all of us given the ethical concerns that are innate with the technology.

Description

Introducing a new technology into an organization is always a challenge- funding it, building it and operationalizing it, even more so. This is especially true when the perception is that it could make existing skillsets obsolete.

The creation of 3D content involves new workstreams and new stakeholders, but the aesthetic sensibilities and consumer insights needed to engage customers remain unchanged. The impact of curation and storytelling will never fall away. We need the talent we have today- most of whom have never leveraged 3D assets in their work.

Emotional intelligence has a place on your technology roadmap. It’s a big LOE, of course, but baking it in means you’ll spend a lot less time dragging colleagues into the future kicking and screaming. (Not literally, of course.)

The process is rooted in this basic truth; We need one another.

Where does the Great Resignation leave more than 2 billion frontline workers? Thanks to recent advancements in assisted reality, the frontline workforce will be able to get real-time contextual data in the right place and time and be a part of the industrial metaverse. Digital transformation and XR will connect them to their machines and teams in ways they never thought possible. In so doing, they will be seen as an essential part of the Digital Factory, elevated with new skills to navigate exciting new environments -- including AI and IoT. Hear from RealWear what the future holds using an industrial strength HMD, such as RealWear NavigatorTM 500 solution. Learn how macro trends including AI, IoT and Cloud have converged to create the modern frontline industrial worker.

Using Resolve's VR software, Meta’s data center design and construction teams use Quest 2 for cross functional collaborative feedback sessions of the General Contractor's Master Construction Model. This enables data center end users, like facilities operations, culinary, and security teams, to provide valuable feedback early in the design and construction process. This type of virtual collaboration has saved Meta substantial time and money by identifying issues before construction and optimizing for a safer, more efficient, and sustainable final data center build.
