Next Wednesday morning, September 30th, our alarm’s going off at 4 am.<\/p>\n

The computer’s going on at 4:15.<\/p>\n

And at 5 am, we will connect, virtually, to immersive-technology specialists from all over the world.<\/p>\n

You can too–as the VR\/AR Association hosts its fully virtual Fall 2020 Global Online Summit<\/a>!<\/p>\n

This is the largest and fastest-growing immersive-technology event in the world.\u00a0\u00a0 But it’s not a “tech show”.<\/p>\n

Instead, the VRARA’s Global Summit explores uses of augmented and virtual reality in all areas of life.\u00a0 Transportation, education, art and entrepreneurship were just a few of the areas covered during their summer event in June.<\/p>\n

This autumn summit, themed “Adaptabilty”, marks the second time VRARA will host an all-virtual event.\u00a0 Over the three days, September 30th through October 2nd, more than 125 speakers will be featured.<\/p>\n

Confirmed speakers so far include Intel Executive Producer Sarah Vick, futurist and author Charlie Fink and Unity Technologies Enterprise Solutions Executive Elizabeth Baron.\u00a0 And according to an email from VRARA, additional new speakers are about to be added!<\/p>\n

Listed highlights include a new safety standard for virtual and augmented-reality equipment.\u00a0 Asobo Studios will exhibit their new Microsoft Flight Simulator.\u00a0 Exhibitors will showcase their products in the Virtual Expo booths. Special events include a Women’s Summit and XR Job Fair.\u00a0 Five-minute “Speed Dating” networking will give you a chance to meet with dozens of new contacts, throughout the three days of the summit.<\/p>\n

AND–you’ll get a chance to enter King Tut’s tomb!<\/p>\n

No–we didn’t throw that in just to see if you were paying attention.<\/p>\n

King Tut, meet 21st Century<\/h5>\n

VRARA’s Global Summit page lists a special panel entitled, “Tutankhamun: Enter the Tomb” on Wednesday, at 1 pm Eastern (10 am for us Californian attendees!).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A special panel, including director and Citylights Co-Founder Joel Newton and Periscope VR Founder\/CEO Lynn Rosenthal, will discuss the eight-minute VR experience set to premiere at the Saatchi Gallery in London.\u00a0 “Tutankhamun: Enter the Tomb” takes visitors into the world of the young Egyptian king through a virtual recreation of the artifacts from his tomb, discovered a century ago.<\/p>\n

Tickets are still available for the VRARA Global Summit Online.\u00a0 You’ll find more information at this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You’ll recall, in June, the pandemic forced VRARA to take their planned event in Lisbon to an all-virtual format for the first time.<\/p>\n

Our experience: it was a don’t-miss event.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sessions were geared to everyone, including first-time VR or AR explorers.\u00a0\u00a0 Education, art and entrepreneurship, with virtual applications, were major topics of discussion. \u00a0 VRARA says more than 11,000 attendees joined them virtually. \u00a0 Over the three days, more than 250 speakers and exhibitors showcased the latest applications in immersive technology.<\/p>\n

One personal favorite: the first VR\/AR Global Student Design Competition<\/a>!<\/p>\n

College students from around the world displayed their designs around the theme of “innovative social distancing”.\u00a0 Judges Amy Peck and Aubrey Tucker met with the students virtually, “walking” around their designs and asking questions about their functionality.\u00a0 The young participants had created social-distanced lunch areas, workspaces and collaborative spaces and museums.<\/p>\n

The most exciting part?\u00a0 That was only the beginning.\u00a0\u00a0 VRARA Global Summit Executive Producer Anne-Marie Enns said in an earlier interview<\/a> that she and her team pulled off this first VRARA Global Summit Online with only six weeks’ lead time.<\/p>\n

Imagine what they’re getting ready to do now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The VRARA Fall Global Summit Online happens Wednesday, September 30th through Friday, October 2nd.\u00a0\u00a0 Sessions start at 8 am, Eastern time (5 am Pacific) on the 30th, and end at 5 pm Eastern, 3 pm Pacific, on the 2nd.<\/em><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
