As part of the Open Innovator- Spotlight Series, on Sept 14th, we had a Metaverse Edition that explored topics like the building of the metaverse and the future of augmented and virtual reality.
Spotlight Series is an online event aimed at introducing ideas that can have an impact and potentially challenge established incumbent businesses and processes. This insightful and thought-provoking event welcomes speakers from top startups to share brief talks about their technology solutions, and different aspects of their business that serves as a blueprint for building innovative, future-forward collaborations.
As Metaverse is on the verge of bringing a disruptive wave that promises to radically change business operations across organizations, the online event had leaders from Blippar, Merkel Haptics, and XR Labs showcase their next-level solutions in Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Immersive Environments, Computer Vision, Haptic Technology, etc.
The speakers discussed the development of augmented reality (AR) designs for sectors including eCommerce, marketing, advertising, tourism, and education that seamlessly connect the physical and digital worlds to encourage deeper customer engagement, increased footfall, and sales.
Haptic technology, which tracks head and eye movements to create immersive settings where users may virtually feel and experience them, was also a topic of discussion. Applications of this technology in healthcare and other industries were covered. The use of AR to enhance processes in Industry 4.0 as well as other fields including manufacturing, defense, support and maintenance, work, and safety was a significant part of the discussion.
It was another great event that had a wide presence of an audience interested in knowing more about the Metaverse, its applications, and market projections. The attendees also had an excellent chance to participate and also discuss with the open innovators topics related to this upcoming technology.
