RETHINK IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGIES / Emergent Technologies

May 5 and 6, 2022

Rethink Digital Six Series 2

Module 2: RETHINK IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGIES

This module will explore the techniques and mechanisms to feed and fuel the Digital Transformation Flywheel by taking advantage of the latest breakthroughs and best practices in leveraging emerging Immersive Technologies.

Immersive Technologies such as Internet of Things and Smart Devices have become deeply entrenched in the everyday lives of consumers, with the market for app-controlled fixtures and smart appliances growing exponentially. Importantly, IoT has significantly altered how business is done, transforming the products sold to include proactive maintenance solutions via sensors and telemetry, and overall, developing new revenue streams. With access to new, richer data sets, ever larger opportunities are being discovered. New technology solutions From Wearables to Augmented Humans are now leveraging breakthroughs in AI, IoT, Big Data, and Robotics to improve human performance. The RETHINK IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGIES module will also examine intelligent new approaches to Spaces and Smart Places, the physical spaces outfitted with technologies that are rooted in AI, IoT, Automation, etcetera, in order to create intelligent and fully connected environments. The sessions will conclude by examining how innovative new personalization and customization will further enable businesses to offer products and services specifically tailored to individual needs at an exact time when needed.

The goal of this conference is to delve deeper into the requirements for these unique Immersive Technology eco-systems and explore successful breakthroughs.
