Shared AR: Language, AR and the Shamanic Impulse

Oct 20

11:05 - 11:30

Description

What does it mean that something is "real"? In this talk, Nils Pihl of Auki Labs explores how language itself is augmented reality technology, and how the human shamanic impulse and memetics can inform us about the future of AR as a medium, and why sharable AR is the penultimate step in human communication before direct neural interfaces.

Exploring the history and intersection of language, AR and shamanic traditions through the lens of memetics and behavioral psychology, Nils explores what it means for something to be "real" and what "augmenting reality" really means in the context of human interactions.

With the rise of 3D in eCommerce, retailers are creating their own 3D pipelines and workflows. We demonstrate that in order to reap the benefits of 3D technology on a large scale in eCommerce, it has become essential to reach alignment throughout the industry and introduce standards.

We will showcase what can be done right from the start to solve for all of the use cases that a retailer might have down the road. Our approach is to smartly streamline the 3D model creation and processing, therefore unlocking scalability. We will also include a practical example from the furniture industry, demonstrating how technology can help to reduce manual effort at different points in the process.
