BEST 10 Experiences from AWE 2022

Here is my takeaway from AWE 2022 / WHERE XR BUSINESS THRIVES!

Since 2010 over 5000 companies and 60,000 professionals have trusted AWE to connect, learn and grow their business in the XR ecosystem. This year #awe2022 claimed to have 250 Vendors and over 5000 attendees.

I gathered 10 most interesting and innovative #augumentedreality experiences from the Expo floor and made a video of each one of them. I hope this will be informative and inspire you to visit next year.

Anomaly Productions is a technology focused publisher with the mission to tell stories like never before. The result is a series of media-rich books, graphic novels and comics using Augmented Reality. Co-founder Brian Haberlin tells how Anomaly Productions is focused on merging technology with “old media” and creating an entirely new level of storytelling. Free, lightweight companion apps (iOS and Android) accompany every title and use the phones already in our pockets or tablets at home, bringing together dozens of exciting features to print. #media #bookpublishing #book #bookcoverdesign #bookdesigner

PROTO makes holoportation possible – bringing people together across every kind of divide. The Tim Draper-backed startup is working with Fortune 500s, major entertainment companies, all the pro-sports leagues and more. PROTO won 3 honors at CES, the top award for “Connecting People” at SXSW and made Fast Company's Most Innovative list. Watch to the end of the video to check out it's smaller M product for home and office scheduled to launch later this year--making hologram telecommunications possible for everyone. #immersivetechnology #immersiveexperience #immersive #holograms #live #livestream

It’s time to bring your games to holographic life! The TILT FIVE system includes glasses that connect to a compute device you already own (like a Windows PC or Android phone) which is where your video games and apps already live! We support games where you currently buy them like Steam or GooglePlay. The Gameboard coated with a ‘retroreflector’ (millions of microscopic glass spheres) reflects the light from the T5 Glasses back to your eyes creating the tabletop hologram. You can direct, interact, and ‘touch’ the holograms using the wand controller and even your hands. #virtualreality #virtualrealityexperience #virtualdesign #gamedev #gameart #gamedesign #games #gamesindustry
