Virtual Reality refers to a high-end user interface that involves real-time simulation and interactions through multiple sensorial channels. Virtual Reality is often used to describe a wide variety of applications, commonly associated with its immersive, highly visual, 3D environments. The development of CAD software, graphics hardware acceleration, head mounted displays, database gloves and miniaturization have helped popularize the concept. Jaron Lanier coined the term Virtual Reality in 1987. Today Virtual Reality plays a big part in the everyday lives of the world’s population.

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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

12. The Ultimate Display
“The ultimate display would, of course, be a room
within which the computer can control the
existence of matter. A chair displayed in such a
room would be good enough to sit in. Handcuffs
displayed in such a room would be confining, and
a bullet displayed in such a room would be fatal”.
Ivan Sutherland, 1965
16. Trend Towards Invisible Interfaces
• Trend from room scale to invisible computing
• Making Computers Invisible
• hide the computer in the real world
• Ubiquitous Computing
• put the user inside the computer
• Virtual Reality

interaction with real world environments. In Proceedings of the 8th Annual ACM Symposium on
User interface and Software Technology. UIST '95. ACM, New York, NY, 29-36.
18. Graphical User Interfaces
• Separation between real and digital worlds
• WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointer) metaphor
25. Other Definitions
Virtual reality is..
a computer technology that replicates an environment, real
or imagined, and simulates a user's physical presence and
environment to allow for user interaction. (Wikipedia)
electronic simulations of environments experienced via
head mounted eye goggles and wired clothing enabling the
end user to interact in realistic three-dimensional situations.
(Coates, 1992)
an alternate world filled with computer-generated images
that respond to human movements. (Greenbaum, 1992)
an interactive, immersive experience generated by a
computer (Pimental 1995)
26. Key Characteristics for VR
• Virtual Reality has three key characteristics
• 3D stereoscopic display
• Wide field of view display
• Low latency head tracking
• When these three things are combined they
provide a compelling immersive experience
29. Defined in Terms of Presence
• Presence is the key to defining VR in terms of experience
• Presence is defined as the sense of being in an environment
• Telepresence is defined as the experience of presence in an
environment by means of a communication medium.
• A “virtual reality” is defined as a real or simulated environment
in which a perceiver experiences telepresence.

nAutonomy – User can to
react to events and stimuli.
nInteraction – User can
interact with objects and
environment.
nPresence – User feels
immersed through sensory
input and output channels

32. Augmented Reality Definition
•Defining Characteristics [Azuma 97]
• Combines Real andVirtual Images
• Both can be seen at the same time
• Interactive in real-time
• The virtual content can be interacted with
• Registered in 3D
• Virtual objects appear fixed in space

41. Summary
• Virtual Reality can be defined in a number of ways
• In terms of technology
• From a Presence perspective
• VR can also be classified with other technologies
• Invisible Interfaces
• Milgram’s Mixed Reality continuum
44. When anything new comes along, everyone,
like a child discovering the world thinks that
they’ve invented it, but you scratch a little
and you find a caveman scratching on a wall
is creating virtual reality in a sense.
Morton Helig (Hammit 1993)
45. Early History (30,000 BC - )
