Description

"AWS Spatial: Building Blocks of the Metaverse" is a session for developers and tech enthusiasts interested in the potential of XR to revolutionize various industries. It is focused on helping those who have moved past the pilot or prototype phase and are now looking to scale and adopt XR in a meaningful way. In this session, attendees will learn how to take disparate 3D workloads and XR proofs of concept and scale them into enterprise-level applications using the tools, building blocks, and patterns available right now. The session will cover the complete XR workload lifecycle, including supporting asset creation, ingestion, transformation, and distribution/deployment.
The session will be led by three AWS Spatial Computing prototype architects, each representing different emerging technology teams within AWS. They will demonstrate how to leverage CAD engineering models, photogrammetry, and AI/ML in 3D asset pipelines to create high-quality XR experiences. Attendees will have the opportunity to get started with the tools, building blocks, and patterns available right now, and learn how to use AWS Spatial to build XR workloads that are scalable, secure, and reliable.
