Augmented Reality Fad or Future?
Presented by Erik Van Vulpen
Tuesday, 28th June 2016
A recent key note presentation by Google contained some insight into Google's vision on Augmented Reality. Apple, Facebook are likewise investing significant amounts of money in the technology. However the public have some reasons to be sceptical; Google glasses have been withdrawn, the initial attempts at applying AR - for instance by KIA in their Melbourne Open campaign - weren't delivering on the expectations and at the moment it is Virtual Reality that is rather taking the limelight.
In this presentation Erik will demonstrate what Augmented Reality is, how it works and what the applications are/will be.
