Whether you're using VR for training employees in the enterprise, educating students in classrooms, or treating patients in hospitals, understanding how you'll grow from pilot stage to full-scale adoption is critical to the success of your project. In this talk, we'll discuss best practices for scaling your deployments from one device to thousands.

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.

Designing a wearable AR device that is wearable and comfortable for extended periods of time requires deep understanding of users, including how and where they will be using it. Within the global population we find many differences in the factors that drive fit & comfort in AR, which presents a substantial challenge to design. Danny will discuss several aspects of human anthropometry, along with the concepts of Fit Mapping and Fit Testing as they apply to designing wearable devices for a global audience.

Description

The power of XR for training is now well established – endless projects have shown that it can reduce training time and risk, increase knowledge retention, improve trainee throughput, and much more. The ROI is clear and enterprise organizations are increasingly looking to bring this technology into their core learning strategies.

But it’s not easy. There are still a number of barriers – some of which can only be solved by key players, but others which can be addressed by a different approach across the industry. Enterprise customers need cost-effectiveness, choice and flexibility to scale – so how do we provide this? And if content is king, how do XR creators and technology companies work together to create an environment with more options, fewer barriers and better solutions? There is a better way.

Glimpse the future of "Simulation Metaverse ". Siemens Technology (Siemens central R&D department) develops a prototype to enable the real time collaboration of multiple experts during the post-processing stage and improve the knowledge flow among the different disciplines from CAD designers, to simulation and testing experts by bringing all the project relevant data (simulations, experimental data, reports etc) in one common environment , where all the team members can access and meet virtually in order to exchange or retrieve information . This prototype comes with cross-platform capabilities (PC, VR, Tablet, AR) to allow people to enter the session independently from the end device. Moreover, with the implementation of modern and novel UI leveraging techniques from the gaming industry we lower the entry barriers from novice users. During this session we will provide some key insights of our developments, the faced challenges and how we tackled them as well as we will give for the first time a demonstration of our first prototype using two different use cases from the industrial field.
