Enhancing the Connection of People to Their Environment Panel

A talk from the Virtual World Society Track at AWE USA 2017 - the largest conference for AR+VR in Santa Clara, California May 31- June 2, 2017. Jacquelyn Morie, Founder/Chief Scientist, All These Worlds, LLC Brenda Laurel, Principal, Neogaian Interactive Linda Jacobson, Director, VR & AR Projects, Treasure8 Making places meaningful and special through virtual technologies. Throughout human history, when we experience spaces around us we do so in ways that help establish meaningful connections to those places. If future realities will indeed be a continuum from virtual to mixed to augmented, we need to consider now how those digital and virtual additions to our physical space can also provide enhanced connectivity to places, making them more relevant to our lives. Three immersive media pioneers will discuss the implications of living in digital realms and how today's creators of these spaces can add meaning and personal connections to make actual places that enhance people's lives. http://AugmentedWorldExpo.com Link to Slides: https://www.slideshare.net/AugmentedW...
