Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that works on computer vision based recognition algorithms to augment sound, video, graphics and other sensor-based inputs on real-world objects using the camera of your device. This event will inform you how Immersive Technology - VR, AR & Drones are being utilised commercially in a range of industry sectors.
1. Digital Catapult Immersive Technology Lead, Nigel McAlpine, will give us an overview of how Immersive Technology - VR and AR - is being utilised in a range of sectors.
You'll also be able to try some Immersive content via the Lab's VR and AR headsets and hear about their exciting new plans for the Lab's new home.
2. Steven Barr from Belfast Metropolitan College will present on the "commercial use of drones".
Steven will explain how Belfast Met can help you get the necessary qualifications to fly drones at work. He'll also explain how their students are using AR/VR in combination with drones.
3. Sean Gilmour from Pubble Hill will on "Light field cameras and display systems, an overview of the future of imaging."
While light field theory has been around for a hundred years it is only now that processing power and manufacturing technology is available to deliver the technology. While already used in military helmet-mounted displays (apache helicopter), this technology promises to replace all future displays including AR and VR systems. Learn about this game-changing technology and how to implement it.
There will be a short period of networking after the presentations.
