Though tech giants like Netflix, Microsoft, and Google are pressing pause on metaverse ambitions in light of economic headwinds and spiraling hype cycles, spatial data is powering virtual environments that drive real benefits and practical utility for enterprise functions and consumer applications. Yet creating an immersive, effective, and agile spatial lake—deep enough to power the metaverse—requires three key functional layers to (1) create and manage, (2) build and operate, and (3) deliver and interact at scale. In this panel, spatial computing expert David Randle (Global Head of Spatial Computing GTM at AWS) moderates a panel with meta-world-makers Josh Rush (CEO at Surreal Events), Ryan Smith (Head of Product at RapidCompact by DGG), and Dan O’Brien (GM Americas at HTC VIVE) to discuss the formula for creating a “Spatial Lakehouse” solution strong enough to make the metaverse matter to employees, clients and consumers alike.

Subtitle: A practical manual for blending physical and digital experiences in brand communication.
In the age of Digital Fashion, Beauty, and the Metaverse, it's crucial to distinguish effective instruments that drive sales from non-scalable hype bubbles. Experience has shown that the so-called Metaverse is not entirely about virtual worlds but about blending real-life experiences and digital content.
This talk covers:
- analysis of our new cases at the intersection of XR and offline - AR Mirrors for Mugler and Semi-digital Clothing collection for Bershka
- review of concrete outcomes that we received - awareness, audience engagement, and sales growth
- the best and proven to be effective XR setups for offline and practical manual for their implementation
Attendees will also learn essential, immediate action steps to take advantage of XR for offline and receive measurable and substantial sales growth.
