Technology Insights – Immersing into AR/VR
‘Technology Insights’ brings together a range of relevant and exciting industry topics highlighting current, new and emerging technologies in sectors such as MedTech, Software, Biotechnology, Food and Manufacturing. The series aims to provide Irish industry with a platform for interesting and engaging discussion on a wide range of current and future technologies, presented by industry experts within the Technology Gateway Network.
The second webinar in the series takes place on Thursday 28th January 2021 and explores the world of AR/VR. Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality technologies are achieving mass adoption in numerous sectors including education, manufacturing and gaming. VR creates an environment that immerses the user in a virtual world which suspends belief. AR is similar but uses holograms which are overlaid on the user’s real environment and enhances or adds to what they can see via data displays or 3D models.
Presented by Stephen Barnes, Research Software Developer at TSSG Technology Gateway, ‘Immersing into AR/VR’ will investigate how these technologies produce new immersive interaction paradigms that not only transforms how we consume information but also the speed of how we comprehend that information.
