The Future is Augmented: What AR means for humans

Description:

Technologists are asking themselves, “How will humans interact with computers when augmented reality is ubiquitous?” and “What will those protocols and systems look like?” With the advent of consumer AR wearables, we truly have an opportunity to build the spatial interfaces of tomorrow. This panel will examine the systems, infrastructure, and tools needed to make spatial computing a reality.
