XR Products: Going from cool demo to production use within Aerospace

The success of an immersive experience is ultimately driven by audience response. And it’s not just how many people engaged, but who they are, what they did while in the space, and what the outcome of their experience is. To drive resonance – and, ultimately, ROI –  for the project, you must be an active steward of the audience experience in close collaboration with those who best know the audience needs, wants and behaviors, and who will be responsible for supporting communications.

In our June 21 meeting, you will hear from communications industry veteran, Trish Nicolas, executive vice president for SPI Group. She will share learnings from recent VR and metaverse projects, as well as from her 35 years of experience leading communications strategy and storytelling initiatives.

Perspectives of the Metaverse in the Healthcare Area

Do you find yourself wondering how might we use XR technology to create exponential positive impact in the real world?

We hear so much these days about the Metaverse, which is often depicted as a game-like digital fantasyland where people can meet, play and work with the aid of new immersive technologies like VR, AR and MR.

There is much speculation about the nature of life in the Metaverse, its pros and its cons. But, what is often left out of the discussion is the question of how these technologies might be used in creative ways to deliver meaningful positive impact in the real world. Significant impact. At global scale. Involving everyone.

Join us on Oct 12 as Virtual World Society and Exponential Destiny share their stories with us, and what they are are working on now to address this question. And to tell us how we all can get involved.
