The document is a presentation by @thatpatrickguy about engaging with and helping shape the future of virtual reality (VR). It provides a 4 step plan: 1) Get VR equipment and show it to others, 2) Make your own VR projects, 3) Connect with the VR community for help and collaboration, 4) Share your VR experiences, findings, and creations through blogging, public speaking, or other means. The presentation emphasizes that VR is still in early stages and can benefit from contributions from a diverse community of creators and early adopters.

3D Holography: When Might it become Economically Feasible?Jeffrey Funk
Master's students use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) forthcoming book (Origins of New Industries) to analyze the technical and economic feasibility of 3D Holography. Improvements in lasers and holographic media are gradually making this more feasible. See my other slides for details on concepts, methodology, and other new industries..

We all know that buying a house is an emotional purchase. Facts and figures don’t sell houses.

Commercial success depends upon the ability of VR producers to understand the complexities of creating and finishing, high-quality, content and finding an audience.
The most important part of VR interaction is the person doing the interacting. Human-centered interaction design focuses on the human side of communication between user and machine: the interface from the user’s perspective. Focusing on users is more important for VR than for any other medium. When VR is done well, interactions can be brilliant and pleasurable, but when done badly, they can result in frustration, fatigue, and sickness. Many causes of bad VR are centered on a lack of understanding of human perception, intuitive interaction, design principles, and real users. Quality interactions enhance user understanding of what has just occurred, what is happening, what can be done, and how to do it. For optimal VR experiences, goals and needs must be efficiently achieved, and the experiences must be engaging and enjoyable.

Here a deck explaining why consider Virtual Reality as a medium, not just a technology or a content by itself.
The crypto market in 2023 and beyond: But first what happened in 2022? and what may happen in 2023.
In this article, we are going to do a recap of the year 2022 and what will happen from our point of view in 2023, with a peak in 2024.
As you saw in 2022, the market had a very strong bearish trend. This was caused by the FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) that was spread around by the media. They were afraid of the bubble that was forming in crypto and thought that it would burst soon. As a result, many investors sold their assets, causing the prices to drop. However, this sell-off was largely due to irrational panic and not fundamentals. In fact, the crypto market is still in its early stages and has a lot of room for growth. The bearish trend was only a temporary setback, and the market has since recovered and is now once again trending upwards. So, don’t let the media scare you away from investing in crypto; instead, do your own research and make sure you understand the risks before making any decisions.

Consumer demand for Virtual and Augmented Reality devices is exponentially increasing. By 2020, both VR and AR market is expected to reach 150 bln$ with 55 million Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) available. This new technology is expected to heavily disrupt the gaming and entertainment businesses. But what does this new technology offer for today's media? And can we find new forms of storytelling?

Don’t miss this opportunity to elevate your FME expertise and drive your projects to new heights of efficiency.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
