As we all understand, Metaverse is a digital space in which users can interact with a computer-generated environment and other users. But what does Metaverse mean for Enterprises? Is Metaverse only for the gamers, or is it beyond gaming? Are Enterprises Metaverse ready? Who governs the Metaverse, and who defines the standards and protocols for Metaverse? How will Enterprises get benefited from using Metaverse? What will be the typical use cases for Enterprise Metaverse? 

We are sure many of you have these questions on your mind. So please come and join this panel discussion, co-hosted by VRARA Chicago & Silicon Valley Chapters. Our esteemed panelists are industry experts representing customers, different enterprise verticals, solution providers, platform providers, and technologies for Enterprise Metaverse.

The Growing Potential of the Metaverse for Enterprise

The main topics of discussion are:

 What problems does your product solve that other forms of training cannot?

 What is the most frustrating thing about your product, and what do you wish it could do that it can’t do today?

 Where have you seen the most growth in adoption, and where will you be looking to target in the near future?

 What do your customers love the most (and least) about your product?

Product Talks: Virtual Reality Training

Join us as GuessworkVR will describe their process on creating narrative for VR. They will share how they won a grant from Oculus and how their narrative development in VR has had a major role in their success.  GuessworkVR is a remote game development studio based in Columbus, OH. Their game, UNDR H2O, is a room-defense game that takes place in a world where Plumbers are superheroes. The game places you in the shoes of a 17-year-old, plumber hero wannabe, who faces one major problem: his late father was a supervillain.

AR/VR's Impact on Education in the Industry 4.0 Setting

Join VRARA Chicago, Jeff Bodzewski, Partner and CEO of Wool & Water, and a panel of brand executives as we examine consumer interest in using Snapchat for eCommerce shopping, how curiosity in AR and VR has increased, and the impact these trends could have on retailers in the near future as we move closer to the Metaverse becoming a reality. 

Our panel and discussion will center around a recent Wool & Water survey of more than 1,000 U.S. consumers between October 6 – 8, 2021.  The report revealed a strong majority (85%) of those who are somewhat or very excited about augmented reality (AR) as a way to interact with products. Additionally, another 85% are at least somewhat likely to choose a brand that gave them the option to increase confidence in the fit, look and experience of a product through AR or VR, over a competitor – up slightly from 83% in the Spring of 2021. These findings demonstrate the promise that AR offers, as well as the limitations of its most recognized platform: Snapchat.

Brands who want to thrive in this new and evolving market need to offer a fully shoppable experience throughout their entire omni-channel approach – something that Wool & Water has been offering for more than a year.

State of AR and VR in Shopping 2021

As part of the discussion, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and view video footage of the projects.

Using VR to Craft Immersive Memories (VR for Good)

Virtual Reality has been used extensively to help educate in the area of technical knowledge, but what about in the area of soft skills such as interpersonal communication, de-escalation, motivational interviewing, and more? 

The GRID Lab at Ohio University has found great success working with industries such as Healthcare and Law Enforcement.

Through their unique blend of narrative storytelling combined with educational material and 360 videos. Hear about the Lab’s approach to 360 videos and learn why their content has been dubbed cine-VR.

Presentation by Center of Science and Industry (COSI) and The May 4th augmented reality experience, which is designed to engage and immerse users as they journey through the events of May 4th, 1970 and reflect on its meaning for today. The experience invites users to view multiple perspectives of the Kent State shootings through the lens of augmented reality using historical imagery, audio, and related experiences that highlight past and current humanitarian struggles.

Kent State researchers will describe two eXtended Reality (XR) projects they deployed within the last few years.  The first, an augmented reality project that was later turned to VR because of COVID-19, gives users opportunities to explore the context and history surrounding the May 4th, 1970 shootings at Kent State University.  The second, a VR 360 project designed for headset or standard screen viewing, gives future teachers opportunities to “virtual visit” and observe classrooms to learn about professional practice. Moderated by Rebecca Kemper, COSI: Center of Science and Industry
