Immersive Experiences; Shifts in Technology and Business for Virtual Reality, Gaming and Beyond
Abstract:
The world of computing is radically expanding. In the past, the experience has been largely flat and two-dimensional, but tomorrow’s will be completely immersive and interactive.
Intel is powering these immersive and interactive environments not only with Intel processors but also in our end to end technologies; server to client, cloud to edge, and from 5G to VR and AI. Whether it is cutting edge medical breakthroughs using VR and computing to highly immersive and interactive gaming, Intel’s products power every touchpoint in the immersive experience pipeline. Frank will cover the possibilities of VR in medicine, where surgical simulations are already being used all the way to interactive gaming and esports from both a gamer and audience perspective.
