Webinar
Webinar Recording
Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Realities are significantly different technologies. The webinar will review these differences and where these technologies stand today. Focus will be given to the challenges and techniques of replicating real world experiences in VR, the role profoundly immersive VR is playing now, and where we are heading. In particular, the webinar will highlight applications that many overlook, e.g. rehabilitation, and the significant advances in integration with the real world and immersive kinaesthetics, e.g. walking.
