Extended Reality (XR): The End of Distance @ SXSWRori DuBoff
Even in today’s hyper-connected world, brands are faced with the challenge of distance: distance to people, distance to info, distance to experiences. How do they solve for “needed here, but exists there”?
This session will discuss how Extended Reality (XR) - Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality - can bridge the gap through relevant, immersive experiences - and when combined with A.I, the opportunity is endless. Join this session to explore how intelligent XR experiences will fundamentally change how brands connect with people.
Lecture 7 from the COMP 4010 class on AR and VR. This lecture was about Designing AR systems. It was taught on September 7th 2021 by Mark Billinghurst from the University of South Australia.
Virtual reality is, plainly speaking, seeing an imaginary world, rather than the real one. Seeing, hearing, smelling, testing, feeling. The imaginary world is a simulation running in a computer. The sense data is fed by some system to our brain.
COMP 4010 - Lecture 1: Introduction to Virtual RealityMark Billinghurst
Lecture 1 of the VR/AR class taught by Mark Billinghurst and Bruce Thomas at the University of South Australia. This lecture provides an introduction to VR and was taught on July 26th 2016.
Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real-world are "augmented" by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory, and olfactory.The overlaid sensory information can be constructive (i.e. additive to the natural environment) or destructive (i.e. masking of the natural environment) and is seamlessly interwoven with the physical world such that it is perceived as an immersive aspect of the real environment. In this way, augmented reality alters one's ongoing perception of a real-world environment, whereas virtual reality completely replaces the user's real-world environment with a simulated one. Augmented reality is related to two largely synonymous terms: mixed reality and computer-mediated reality.

Augmented reality applications in manufacturing and maintenance Jeffrey Funk
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how augmented reality is becoming economically feasible for manufacturing and maintenance applications. Augmented reality adds useful information to a real-world image that is seen through head-mounted glasses or a tablet computer’s camera. Academic tests reveal that manufacturing and maintenance activities can be done more effectively when workers use augmented reality and many firms have begun using augmented reality.
Furthermore, continued improvements in display resolution and graphic processing speeds and the emergence of transparent displays will expand the use of AR. In particular, it takes several seconds for current devices to update the images that are overlaid on the real-world image, which confuses workers and slows them down. Improvements in graphic processors for tablet computers are reducing the time it takes for tablet computers to recognize and register objects and thus make the overlaid images look clear in the tablet’s display. While graphic processors in game consoles and desktop computers can easily handle this problem, graphic processors in mobile devices lag their game console and desktop computer counterparts by several years.
AR gives new ways for your devices to be helpful throughout your day by letting you experience digital content in the same way you experience the world.
whereas VR Virtual reality (VR) implies a complete immersion experience that shuts out the physical world.
Augmented reality is a live view of a physical real-world environment whose elements are merged with (or augmented by) virtual computer-generated imagery
Augmented Reality connects the online and offline worlds. Let us have a look at what it is, why it is so popular and what are the businesses to which it can contribute.

Virtual Reality (VR) Continuum - AMP New VenturesAMP New Ventures
If the Internet is the sharing of information, then Virtual Reality (VR) is the sharing of experiences; and if most customer experiences are digital, then Virtual Reality (VR) must be important, for it is the next frontier in digital.
VR immerses users in indistinguishably real simulated environments, while Augmented Reality (AR) blends the digital into our physical environments. In the past month, PlayStation VR was released along with Google VR, to join a global ecosystem of VR content, infrastructure and platforms startups, projected to be worth $160bn by 2020.
Given It will transform experiences across industries, including Financial Services, and the expert consensus is that mainstream adoption is ~5 years away, we recommend Financial Services companies start exploring VR/AR possibilities now.
Lecture 6 of the COMP 4010 course on AR/VR. This lecture is about designing AR systems. This was taught by Mark Billinghurst at the University of South Australia on September 1st 2022.
Augmented reality (AR) is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are "augmented" by computer-generated or extracted real-world sensory input such as sound, video, graphics, haptics or GPS data.[1] It is related to a more general concept called computer-mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented) by a computer. Augmented reality enhances one’s current perception of reality, whereas in contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
