Niantic Lightship ARDK preview and Q&A by VRARA Poland & Netherlands

baner_may_2021_niantic.jpg

Join VRARA Poland and Netherlands for a preview of the Niantic Lightship ARDK and live Q&A with Niantic’s Chief Research Scientist, Gabriel

About this event

Niantic has recently announced the private beta of its Niantic Lightship ARDK, part of its full Lightship platform that powers planet-scale AR experiences including Pokémon GO. We’re partnering with Niantic to give VRARA Poland and Netherlands members a deeper look at the ARDK in this talk. You’ll learn about its tools and features, the experiences it can enable and see demos that bring its possibilities to life.

Niantic Lightship ARDK

The Niantic Lightship ARDK is a robust set of tools that enable developers to create multiplayer AR experiences and bring them to life with depth, physics, occlusions, and semantic segmentation. Key features include:

  • Real-time Mapping through advanced Meshing, which enables you to create persistent and realistic AR experiences.

  • Multiplayer functionality which enables immersive multiplayer experiences where up to eight players can share the same AR experience in the same real world space at the same time.

  • Semantic Segmentation, which classifies outdoor natural objects that a user scans (like the ground and sky), enabling AR content interactions on or with specific surfaces.

The speaker

Gabriel Brostow is a leading member of the international Computer Vision community and Chief Research Scientist at Niantic, where he heads up the AR Research & Development team creating the future of AR. In addition to his work at Niantic, Gabriel is also a Professor of Machine

Future of Work. How VR/AR can change our jobs? (Online Event)

VRARA Poland VR AR jobs.png

Pandemic heavily changed the way we work every day. Today we operate remotely using paradigms know for decades. We use text, images, and video to control, communicate, and learn from the distance.

Technology evolves rapidly approaching a new Spatial paradigm shift. When we get their existing, flat solutions will look unusable and silly. We will gain unlimited presence capability whether it is a factory, office, or training facility. When we are there we won't need to look for stickers or browse tons of instructions - it will be there all in front of you so you can focus on what matters the most.

Join us to see how immersive technologies like AR/VR are changing the way we are going to work in the future.

Immersive storytelling. How VR/AR can awaken the imagination? (Online Event)

Immersive+storytelling+VRARA+Poland+VR+AR.jpg

Storytelling helps humankind build a society, exchange knowledge and shape our beliefs. It’s with our species from the very beginning evolving over the course of centuries. Progressing with our skills and technology. Words and gestures or drawings on the stone are the initial forms of storytelling. Print brings us books and cinema motion pictures. Now, living in the XXI century it’s time for immersive technologies to take the lead. AR/VR-based storytelling has a huge advantage over the previous approaches. It can trick your mind so you think you are in the center of the action. You can even inflect the plot by making your own version of the story. Possibilities are endless!

We already see numerous immersive storytelling formats. They can be successfully used in different contexts ranging from business to art. Immersive theaters or exhibitions, locations based VR experiences, immersive booths, or even VR video games are just a few examples. During the event, we will dive deep into different formats and tools that can be used to tell the story in a way not possible before.

Communication in times of pandemic. Can VR/AR deliver on their promise?

VRARA Poland.jpeg

Listen to experts on how to incorporate VR/AR tools and platforms in business and online collaboration.

The COVID-19 permanently changed the way we live and work. When self-distancing is a must, technology helps us tremendously to keep both social and business communication running. This kind of a pandemic would have been devastating 20 years ago without Zoom, Meet, and Messenger. As humans, we need eye contact, face mimics, body language, and all the other subtle elements, which we were trained to perceive throughout the years of our evolution. We don’t get them from text and video and we become “Zoom fatigue”.

Immersive technologies like VR/AR can address those issues. Due to significant improvements in both hardware and software, you can use them comfortably and efficiently. Companies like Apple, Facebook, or HTC heavily invest in the AR/VR market, clearly pointing to the direction that will establish the next technological paradigm.

  • Is this a real thing or just a gimmick?

  • Can VR/AR effectively replace tools like Zoom or Google Meet?

  • What to use for remote telepresence and effective collaboration?

Join us on November 18th at 2 pm (CEST) to learn existing tools and platforms along the ways to incorporate them effectively in business and personal life. RSVP here
