Amazon Sumerian lets anyone create and run augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and 3D applications quickly and easily without requiring specialized programming or 3D graphics expertise. In this session, participants learn how to use Sumerian to build a scene that is viewable on laptops, mobile phones, VR headsets, and digital signage. Ben Moore provides a guided overview of the Sumerian interface to create a scene, add objects, and include hosts. He then demonstrates how to manipulate assets and add behaviors to create dynamically animated objects and characters in an AR/VR experience. Finally, he covers how Sumerian integrates into AWS services such as Amazon Polly, Amazon Lex, AWS Lambda, Amazon S3, and Amazon DynamoDB.
