Futures Thinking Keynote: VR, AR & MR (Reuters XR Intelligence Conference) |
|
In the largest XR event run by Thomson Reuters in San Francisco in December 2019, Roger Spitz presented the Futures Thinking Keynote: VR, AR & MR. For Black Mirror fans, you will see the XR industry moving from Science Fiction to Science Fact. And you’ll hear why Digital Teleportation and Brain Computer Interface (BCI) may not be so far away.

Well here it is: The gap between science fiction and reality is shrinking everywhere, as even mergers and acquisitions or venture capital investments are themselves resembling what was once science fiction. Cybernetics BCI is one such promising area, evidenced by Facebook's acquisition of CTRL-labs for between $500 million and $1 billion, and by two Israeli cybernetics companies that raised VC money in the past two years: Arctop, which uses A.I. to construct a multidimensional map of real-time brain activity, and CorrActions, which develops noninvasive software to anticipate human intentions. In addition, Mojo Vision (which raised $100 million to date), is working on augmented reality contact lenses. In haptics, HaptX has raised $19 million to build a haptic telerobotic system to transmit touch feedback to an operator anywhere. With the convergence of connective technologies (A.I., 5G, IoT, sensors), immersive experiences (AR, VR, and MR), and human-machine interface (BCI, tech + wearables) you'll be able to see, hear, and feel, providing a realistic implementation of digital teleportation or space/time travel. According to physicist Michio Kaku, "Once confined to fantasy and science fiction, time travel is now simply an engineering problem."
