Bill Gates recently predicted of our immediate future; “At least ten years of progress in forcing people to do things in a digital way will happen in a two-year period.”

In this multi-part series, we gather the top thought leaders of XR within academia and business to discuss how XR is a driving force in powering this incredible period of digital transformation.

How are VR and AR founders and researchers shaping the future by solving the challenges of today? How have they adapted their companies and focuses in 2020, and what does their roadmap now look like?

What are their predictions for the decade ahead – and the arc of how XR will transform their industry?

"How XR is transforming Healthcare and Mental Wellness"

Join us for a gathering of inspiring leaders in the space with vastly different backgrounds; doctors who have implemented XR in COVID wards and saved lives; authors of books on XR in medicine; CEO’s of XR companies; and thought leaders on the future of technology in Healthcare.

These various perspectives will together help examine how the medical world is transforming with the adoption of new technologies. XR is a nascent force in healthcare and mental wellness, but the benefits even at this stage are apparent, and XR is predicted to play an exponentially more important role in the years to come.

AGENDA:

  • Opening keynotes from Dr. Brennan Spiegel, author of a recently released book on XR in Medicine, and from Dr. Daniel Kraft, thought leader and expert in the intersection of technology and healthcare.

  • Interview with Dr. James Kinross on his incredible iterative deployment of XR during the pandemic.

  • Interview with Dr. Walter Greenleaf and Xavier Palomer, Psious CEO, on their work in 2020 in academia and business respectively.

  • Panel with all speakers, moderated by Dr. Spiegel, on the future arc of XR within the Healthcare and Mental Wellness space.
