AWE Nite Florence presents Building the Future of eXtended Reality, Together
We are very excited to present the next AWE Nite Florence, on 24th June at 5 pm CEST, which is dedicated to inclusion and building the future of the XR sector.
By combining so many different skills and so many different countries we will join together with the sole aim of developing the XR sector as a whole.
We will unite Italy and Silicon Valley, with a stop in Geneva, to involve speakers of the highest level such as CHRISTOPHER LAFAYETTE, IPPOLITO IMANI CARADONNA, GIOVANNI LANDI.
How important is social inclusion in the field of new technologies?
We have been forced by the Covid pandemic to become more virtual in a very short time. How have our virtual lives evolved? Where do emergent technologies stand in the current COVID-19 world?
With all of the accelerated technology advancement over the past 18 months, one area that you may not be familiar with that is being positively impacted by XR innovation is microbiology!
Microbiology of genome manipulation, robotics, automation, holopractic… How can the innovations of XR be used in a laboratory? What contribution can they make to the scientific sector?
How critical is transparency in the field of immersive technologies?
It will be a meeting full of ideas and concluding with a debate on “The Worldwide XR Ecosystem” lead by AWE Nite Florence co-organizer, Antony Vitillo.
