From Immersion to Presence: How Virtual and Augmented Reality Are Revolutionizing Learning
Speaker: Anders Gronstedt
The virtual reality (VR) revolution has arrived. It's both a virtual flight simulator for spacial technical training and the ultimate empathy machine for sales, service, leadership, and unconscious bias training. VR brings immersion to new levels---the feeling of presence, of actually being in another place. In this session, you'll get to try mobile VR and watch demos of high-end VR from Fortune 500 companies with room-scale positional tracking and hand controllers. The speakers will review the latest research on when and how VR training works best. They'll also give high-level overview of how to develop an interactive, full-body, immersive, 3-D learning experience. Additionally, the session will feature learning applications of augmented reality (AR), which brings the digital world to the real world. Leave the glowing rectangular screens behind to step into the virtual and augmented reality of the future.
