Simulation is a critical mainstay of the initial training and maintenance of abilities across the spectrum of healthcare workers. Though healthcare simulation training has historically been dominated by physical manikin-based simulators supplemented by pen-and-paper tabletop scenarios, VR-based approaches have been rapidly adopted over the past few years.
This panel, consisting of healthcare simulation and training leaders from industry (Air Methods, SimX), academia (University of Pennsylvania, University of Nebraska), and government (US Air Force), will discuss their real-world experience in integrating VR-based simulation into their healthcare enterprises. Particular attention will be paid to lessons learned regarding the benefits and challenges of VR in medical training, best practices for both adopters and solution providers, and approaches for facilitating the collaborative generation of VR-based training scenarios in medicine.

As a long-time technology trend scout, Leslie Shannon knows that the most successful innovations are the ones that genuinely solve problems - without costing too much. So - what problems does the Metaverse solve? When does the cost of the Metaverse become too high? Join Leslie for a practical tour through the various iterations of today's Metaverse and a real-world, concrete evaluation of which Metaverse elements will propel the creation of the unified, problem-solving Metaverse of the future. Spoiler alert: Not all of today's Metaverse iterations are going to make it!

There are billions of computing devices on Earth filled with millions of apps and hundreds of billions of media files. How do we bring their users into the future? 3D-aware AI technology is a stepping stone that provides a clear upgrade path for these users, creators, and developers ensuring full forwards and backwards compatibility of apps and media content. This talk will discuss free and paid tools powered by machine learning, as well as specific yet generalizable workflows for content capture, creation, development, editing, and distribution of software and media content. It will also highlight effective solutions for displaying XR content to all those people who are reluctant to put on a headset.

Although Microsoft has substantially withdrawn from its Mixed Reality and Metaverse ambitions, the left behind a sizable catalog of community built enterprise apps and games, as well as a toolset, the MRTK, on which they were developed. In this talk, we will walk you through the steps required to port a HoloLens app built on one of the MRTK versions to other platforms such as the Magic Leap 2 and the Meta Quest Pro. We hope to demonstrate that, due to clever engineering, whole ecosystems can be moved from one platform to other newer platforms, where they can continue to evolve and thrive.
