About this event
What do DayDream, Tango, WebVR, ARKit, ARCore and AR Studio have in common? What does a backpack PC, 6 degrees of freedom and foveated rendering have to do with each other?
They are tools and technologies that leverage VR/AR(Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality) and are driving this new thriving industry which is projected to reach $11 billion in 2017 and a stunning $215 billion by 2021. VR and AR are changing the way we communicate, shop, work and have fun, as much as the Internet did and is still doing. This event explores VR/AR’s challenges, opportunities, and use cases.
