OBJECTIVE
“XR offers a bridge between the traditional telephone call
and face-to-face interactions, allowing people to feel like
they’re in the same place when it’s logistically impossible.”
Founded in 2016, SSVAR (https://ssvar.ch) is a business
network based in Switzerland and dedicated to fill the gap
between the public and professionals in the field of virtual,
augmented and mixed reality industries.
How immersive and augmented
technology can help us better connect
with one another?
We have gathered XR industry professionals to collate and
share the resources needed to help more people take
advantage of XR collaboration tools.

7. Konstantin Startchev -VP SSVAR
PhD in Physical Chemistry
Researcher and Developer in the field of Computer Vision,
Augmented and Virtual Reality.
More then 25 years of software development experience (C++, Java).
Experience in building laboratory apparatus; robotics; command and
control, 3D reconstruction, Computer Vision, Unity, OpenCV.
Biography
We are leaving in an amazing time of transformation from digital
driven economy, also known as 3th industrial revolution to a
society of digital based economy. In this new form of society the
production will be not only accelerated via digital devices, but
completely based on digital private properties, digital currencies
and collaboration between human and artificial intelligent digital
machines.
Accordingly our methods of education will deeply change from
classroom cognitive content to Immersive Learning (IL) which
places individuals in an interactive learning environment, either
physically or virtually, to replicate possible scenarios or to teach
particular skills or techniques.
Benefits from IL includes: learn by doing approach, fun by use
gamification scenarios, safe environment, high knowledge
retention, creation of intense memories and quantified feedback.
Indeed IL correspond perfectly to the need of rapid and efficient
conversion of massive human resources to
new professional background. We are sharing in this talk, in a
critical way, our experience of applying the IL technology in
several user cases.

Biography
What factors influence the effectiveness of XR technologies for
achieving different learning goals? This is a complicated question
because the broader question of what factors influence the
effectiveness of any technology for learning is complicated.
The reason this broader question is difficult to answer is that many
factors can influence learning: the instructional technology used, the
medium of delivery, the quality of instruction, the temperature in the
classroom, the student’s socioeconomic status.
XR technology is particularly well suited for fields such as nursing,
language learning, and chemistry—fields that require students to gain
direct experience but where gaining that direct experience is a
challenge because it is dangerous, expensive, complex, or remote.
The more realistic and the higher fidelity these simulations of the physical
world are, the more valuable they are as learning environments.
A quick summary of the XR Campus of the Future project will give some
outcomes highlights.

Biography
Planning to succeed: Steps to take before deploying your XR strategy
Immersive technologies including virtual and augmented reality are rapidly
integrating across a variety of industries including entertainment, education,
healthcare, automotive, travel, fitness,retail and corporate training. The
expansive capabilities of these technologies are changing the ways in which
companies interact with their teams and their clients, and impacting end
consumers’ expectations and demands for content delivery With more visibility of
successful XR use cases, companies are beginning to strategize larger
deployments. A successful deployment that increases brand value requires
understanding the pain points, having the right expertise on board (or on hand),
a time-budgeted rollout, and a focus on creating premium experiences that will
facilitate repeat engagement and properly interact with the targeted user.
Some of the often forgotten but critically important considerations include
adequate planning for the adoption curve, training and support staff, and
hygiene and storage. For example, lack of ongoing hygiene is a commonly
stated reason for why non-users are not comfortable with VR or AR in the first
place. Consumer complaints include headsets that are “wet” from the previous
user’s sweat, odors, grime build up in visors, and fogged lenses.
As more studies showing definitive ROI across use cases become public, the
expansion of strategic XR programs will increase across industries. Having the
ecosystem in place to support a comprehensive rollout strategy will be important
to each business.

VR is not for everyone. According to Statista, there are only 171 million
active users worldwide. We can compare this with 3.8 billion
smartphone users. In 2020 however, there is an increasing demand for
immersive digital products that keep us connected while adopting
new social distancing rules. Connected VR headsets on Steam have
more than doubled in the past three months for example.
In December 2019, Immersionn released first an Immersive journalism
platform that showcases some of its capabilities before customers
started to ask for similar products for their businesses. In May 2020,
Immersionn released its first B2B product, the "Web Twin" for T-Systems.
Web Twins offers a superior web experience than a traditional web
page, as a step before taking engaged visitors to VR. Every Web Twins

At the same time Immersionn started to actively use platforms like

Biography
Anyone else dealing with Zoom fatigue these days? Remote work life
doesn’t have to feel distant or stressful, as we’re in a time of great
disruption. It’s time to go beyond traditional interfacing and passive
video watching. This time is an opportunity for XR to maximize what it
does best. There are key ways XR is different than traditional in-person
work, learning and collaboration. In making this transition to embrace
XR’s potential, a new level of literacy is required. There are concrete
skills, practices, and considerations necessary so that we can thrive and
work at our best in this space. I’ll share recent findings and use cases
from my recent XR sessions at MindWise. When we hone the essential
skills needed to master XR collaboration, we’re able to interact more
fluidly, using advanced technology that mediates and supports our
relationships with others, ideas, information and even ourselves on a
personal level. This literacy spans digital, and is about each of us
applying core practices at this watershed stage.

53. GOOGLE
GOOGLE
About
Google’s mission is to organize the world‘s information and make it universally
accessible and useful.
Since our founding in 1998, Google has grown by leaps and bounds. From
offering search in a single language we now offer dozens of products and
services—including various forms of advertising and web applications for all
kinds of tasks—in scores of languages. And starting from two computer
science students in a university dorm room, we now have thousands of
employees and offices around the world. A lot has changed since the first
Google search engine appeared. But some things haven’t changed: our
dedication to our users and our belief in the possibilities of the Internet itself.
