Sometimes people consider technological advances as divisive experiences—as roadblocks that keep us from from being "in the now" and from being connected to each other. Augmented Reality/Mixed Reality experiences are actually NOT misaligned with the human experience. In reality, AR and MR are closely aligned with our human passions to make, envision, and interact. However, they serve us best as a set of tools. And tools facilitate a strategy...they are not a strategy in and of themselves. It is important to remember this because useful experiences must first be needed before they can be facilitated with useful and appropriate technology. The good news is there are plenty of problems to be solved where AR/MR can make a difference. And even though there will always be problems with uses of technology (mostly because there will always be problems with PEOPLE who use technology) the inevitable value of AR and MR will help humans have more natural experiences and be more meaningfully connected to each other. Augmented World Expo (AWE) is back for its seventh year in our largest conference and expo featuring technologies giving us superpowers: augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and wearable tech. Join over 4,000 attendees from all over the world including a mix of CEOs, CTOs, designers, developers, creative agencies, futurists, analysts, investors, and top press in a fantastic opportunity to learn, inspire, partner, and experience first hand the most exciting industry of our times.
