XR for factory design and production, sustainability perspectives and measures
The talk will showcase and explain the actual benefits and setbacks from recent research on utilizing e.g. 3D Imaging and AV/VR solutions applied on layout planning, production flow balancing and operator training for creating sustainable production systems.

Recent development in research and implementation in industries is shared.

A perspective on how information sharing and reduction of travel is influencing global warming and social aspects of persons involved in both factory design and production using the developed XR solutions.

The five senses of XR
Many people think that AR and VR are simply made by glasses that you put on your face to see a digital reality. These people forget that we have five senses, and that augmented and virtual reality actually regards the spectrum of all our five senses, that are equally important.

Discover the products, the experiments and the results of implementing taste, smell, touch and superpowers like mind control in immersive worlds. You will be surprised of the mindblowing things that the research community is creating!

Transforming and improving neurorehabilitation services with therapeutic virtual reality programs
Immersive Rehab provides a personalised, engaging and clinically validated digital therapeutics solution in virtual reality to tackle the current limitations of neurorehabilitation, in particular for people with significant upper limb mobility limitations as a result of stroke, multiple sclerosis, ALS and spinal injury.

Research has shown that retraining the brain can lead to important gains in mobility. By combining physical rehab with cognitive challenges, it is possible to obtain important gains in mobility and function.

We propose that Immersive Rehab's digital therapeutics neurorehabilitation solution can impact this significantly.

Future Challenges: The Augmented World
This talk will look at how mixed reality, in particular augmented reality, has the potential to radically change our future and with it present some key technical, ethical and social challenges.

The talk will look at how the technology has moved from the lab, to one which so far has been useful in specific niche sectors such as training, security and games. As the technologies improves is there an opportunity to move beyond one-off experiences to a more augmented world? What will this new Wild West be like? Now is the time to ask the questions.

Smart Reality Modulation for Inclusive Society
VR and AR technologies can be used to overcome physical constraints and maximize individual abilities and promote social participation and contribution.

For example, it is possible to redesign the inherent visual ability using advanced head-mounted displays.

In this talk, I will introduce the technology for flexible modulation of reality and its future prospects, along with various research examples that I have been involved in. In particular, I will introduce examples of improving QoL in various scenes of daily life using intelligent real-time video conversion using technologies such as deep learning.

XR for Discovery, Training, and Innovation
This keynote presents the vision and experiences have driven Dr. Cruz-Neira’s professional trajectory in XR, both in academic research and in entrepreneurial activities.She will address lessons learned, opportunities and challenges on using XR as a tool for:

1) enabling discovery and insight in many research disciplines2) creating novel training environments in a wide range of situations;3) improving, accelerating, and advancing processes and product-to-market operations;4) opening new models for education, both formal and informal; and many other areas impacting human life.

She will also discuss her vision on how to collaborate with a wide range of research and industry groups to effectively use these technologies as a force of innovation.

The Burkina Faso spatial program : Burkina Sat
For increasing or improving the fight again its principal problems, Burkina Faso decided to lunch its spatial program.

This spatial program goals are to show on one hand Burkina Faso capabilities to lunch satellite and on the other hand to contribute to help its citizens and Africa citizens to solve their principal daily problems

Professor Frédéric Ouattara

Many have grown impatient with the length of time it has taken virtual reality to reach mainstream adoption.

Industrie 4.0 & Afrique : une fenêtre temporelle de 15 ans et une opportunité unique pour se positionner dans les nouveaux business mondiaux.
[FRENCH] En 2050, l’Humanité comptera autour des 10 Milliards de personnes, dont 1/4 d’africains (2,5 Milliards). En pyramide des ages, ce sera la population la plus jeune du Monde.

L’Afrique, par ses ressources naturelles abondantes, par sa jeunesse et par toutes les infrastructures à construire, est l’Eldorado du XXIème Siècle : elle sera le 1er Marché du Monde.

Une simple observation des principaux acteurs économiques du Continent et de leur comportement commercial et diplomatique nous prouve sans aucun doute possible que toutes les puissances de la planète souhaitent en être les partenaires, et pour longtemps.

Et les approches de tous les pays du G20 ne sont pas les mêmes, notamment celle des BRICS : l’Afrique n’oublie pas la Conférence de Bandung, même plus de 60

Virtual cities, visuospatial memory and aging
In this talk, we will revisit the aging and visuospatial memory in the context of navigation. More specifically from the perspective of designing technologies that may support older individuals in navigation related tasks.

After an overview of our current understanding of how aging affects visuospatial memory, we will examine how one can design content for extended reality technologies to support navigation-related tasks in urban environments for aging individuals while maintaining or even increasing cognitive reserve.

Spatial New World: Envisioning the Impact of Spatial Computing on our lives in 2030
“Hey Ori, it’s me - your future-self from 2030.

Back in 2020, you are facing a devastating global pandemic - but don’t worry...it will pass.

I am sending this message to encourage you and the AWE community to continue on your long and bumpy road to bringing -- what you used to call Augmented and Virtual Reality -- to the mainstream. In fact, you are about to see an unprecedented acceleration of this technology.

By now in 2030, everyone is using it as an essential part of their daily lives and can’t even recall a time when it wasn’t the case.

Almost nothing works without it.

Tell your audience they should be proud and to never never never give up!

Ori Inbar
