Rachel Sibley, VP, Product Marketing, Leap Motion A talk from Inspire Track at AWE USA 2017 - the largest conference for AR+VR in Santa Clara, California May 31- June 2, 2017. In an age of information, attention our scarcest resource. If storytelling is the art of navigating (your user’s) attention, then the rise of VR—a fundamentally new storytelling medium—is a powerful opportunity for resource management. VR is poised to revolutionize business, entertainment, education, healthcare, and more. Still, the devices that power these experiences have yet to coalesce around an optimal user experience, and VR content creation remains nascent. How do we capitalize on the potential of VR? Where do we look to understand this new media paradigm? In this talk, I’ll share insights based on my expertise as an executive leading the charge of new interaction paradigms; data from 200,00 developers worldwide who actively build embodied VR experiences; and a decade of experience as a professional dancer, choreographer, and performer. http://AugmentedWorldExpo.com

2. Solar System Immersive Design:
Learning to Let Go of the Screen
Matt Sundstrom [2015]

3. Cognitive Ecology:
knowledge exists in
mind-body-world
systems

4. Designing for
Immersion
is a combination of….
• Software & Hardware
• Narrative Paradigms
• Natural Interaction

6. Defining the
User’s Mask

7. The Updated Interaction Engine
Designing Physical Interaction

8. How do we use it?
This is a Tool.

9. • Students learn complex
concepts by enacting them
• This demo, funded by the
National Science
Foundation, resulted in a
30% learning retention
increase
Education

10. Healthcare
• Practice medical
procedures
• Visualize & explore the
inner workings of the
human body
• Gamified rehabilitation

11. Industry
• Navigate a plane cockpit
• Operate heavy machinery in
industrial environments.
• Model complex engineering
designs

12. Data Visualization
• Interact directly with
data in 3D space
• Sort, map, and tweak
variables to discover
how complex systems
operate

13. Imagine a future where children
can experience the universe first-hand.

14. If you want to teach people
a new way of thinking,
don't bother trying to teach them.
Instead, give them a tool,
the use of which
will lead to new ways of thinking.

17. Solar System Synergetics:
Explorations in the
Geometry of Thinking
R. Buckminster Fuller [1975]
Fig. 1130.24
Reality is Spiro-orbital:
All terrestrial critical path developments
inherently orbit the Sun.
No path can be linear.
All paths are precessionally modulated
by remotely operative forces producing
spiralinear paths.
