AWISE 2020 – A glimpse into our AR/VR Future

Session No.7 – A glimpse into our AR/VR Future

As our world of technology advancement speeds ahead, the use of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are shifting from the realms of science fiction into real world applications of research, education, communication, and entertainment to name but a few. What can we expect from AR & VR? Were Google Glasses a false start? Is there a Bionic Eye on the horizon? When will we be released from 2D video into a shared AR VR world with photo real holographic telepresence?

Join us on Wednesday 2nd December @ 10:30am to hear from Scott OBrien, Co-Found and CEO of Humense on what to expect from AR/VR in the years ahead.

Thanks to our sponsors this will be a FREE event.

About Augmented Reality (VR) & Virtual Reality (VR) :

Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities whereas Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world.  Source: Wikipedia

Virtual Reality (VR) uses a closed headset that places the user in a virtual world where they simply watch what is happening, like an immersive version of television, or actually move around (either in the virtual space and/or the real world) to interact with this environment and the people and things within it. AR, by contrast, uses a headset or other screen through which the real world is still visible and overlays digital objects on it — anything from a dragon, to a vase to some sales data — to add context or appear to be part of it.
