ADVANCING USER EXPERIENCES BY BRIDGING THE CLIENT, CLOUD, AND NETWORK ECOSYSTEMS

The Immersive Technology Alliance is proud to be a media sponsor for the upcoming B.I.G. Summit taking place on January 20, 2015 in Miami Beach, Florida.   This one day event is an industry-building conference, and features Randi Zuckerberg, one of the pioneering entrepreneurs behind Facebook.  A strong focus is being placed on virtual and augmented reality, and leading names attached include EON Reality, Next Galaxy Corp., Vuzix Corporation, and more.  Wired Magazine’s Peter Rubin will be speaking and sharing, so this is definitely a must-attend event; especially for residents of the MIami Beach area that are seriously interested in this space.

This was the first Immersed panel and featured ITA members VRvana, Next Galaxy Corp., and Dimension Technologies Inc. The poor audio when Nick Stephan first speaks gets fixed very quickly.

According to DTI3D’s Kickstarter update, after Nvidia saw their monitor in action at Immersed, they confirmed that they would add them to their supported list of stereoscopic 3D hardware. This means the DTI3D hardware will be supported by all the 3D driver makers to maximize game compatibility.

Immersed was a tremendous success!  Taking into account the sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, delegates, and general public exhibition, Immersed featured over 250 atteendees and delegates.  The Immersive Technology Alliance is committed to doing this again in 2015, and given the high level of attendee satisfaction with our first release, we are working to make it even bigger next year.

There are still some announcements pending from Immersed, and the Toronto Star (Canada’s most circulated newspaper) ran a story on the front page of their Entertainment section about Immersed.  Immersed was definitely an event to be proud of; both for the alliance and the industry at large.

Special thanks to all the sponsors, partners, exhibitors, speakers and delegates who all helped to make Immersed successful.

“AMD Radeon™ GPUs and AMD Accelerated Processing Units are widely recognized as high-performance platforms for augmented, gestural and virtual reality technologies.  We are proud to support Immersed as an opportunity to foster new Canadian expertise in these exciting areas of graphics innovation.” – David Nalasco, Senior Technical Marketing Manager, AMD

The Immersive Technology Alliance wishes to express its appreciation to the Premier Sponsors who have stepped forward to make the Immersed conference possible.  In tandem with Founding Partners Canada Media Fund and the Ontario Centres of Excellence, these industry leaders are making it possible to hold the first industry-building conference designed to meet the needs of the virtual reality, augmented reality, stereoscopic 3D, and gesture tech communities on the East Coast.  Their efforts are further supplemented by the growing number of exhibits that will be showing brand new content, technology, and ideas.
