REMINDER: Today at 6 pm — Augmented Reality: Creating Immersive Experiences

[Jason Grigsby]

Augmented Reality: Creating Immersive Experiences 

REMINDER: Today at 6 pm — Please RSVP [http://mobileportland.com/events/augmented-reality-creating-immersive-experiences]

When thinking of technologies in the far future it's common to think of devices that allow us to add to and replace reality: heads up displays, the Minority Report's hovering interfaces, virtual worlds from the holodeck to name a few. They are fantastic devices that could make incredible new experiences. So how could we create them?

Augmented Reality, or AR, is a growing technology that overlays digital content onto the real world. Bryan will explain what could be done with the technology, both as a form of entertainment and in day to day life. He then will then present a case for how AR could be developed in a way that makes economic sense to make those dreams into reality.
