AWE USA 2022

AWE USA 2022, was a highly anticipated event because it finally took place again in June and the expectations were repaid; it was an event of true excellence.
All the talks and the choices of the speakers were excellent, the expo and the playground stimulated the curiosity of those present until the last minute of the last available day.

The AWE USA 2021 edition, which was held only a few months earlier, in November 2021 had the “taste of the forbidden”, it was a first return to the presence that everyone had wanted for two years now after the restrictions due to the covid pandemic.
This year in June AWE USA 2022 returned to being an event focused on high-level business.

The introduction of Ori Inbar focused on dreams, which are increasingly possible to realize thanks to the new technologies of the XR world, spoke more to the feelings and the possibility of seeing a future that improves thanks to technology, unlike the opening of AWE USA 2021 which was more scenic, but that perhaps led you less to reflect on the future.

There was no shortage of twists such as Ori’s “My bucket list”, which listed six wishes among which, walking on the moon, flying in the sky, exploring the depths of the sea, visiting the wonders of the world, climbing everest… all achieved, and perhaps thanks to the XR world you will be able to obtain superpowers!

There was another very important moment in AWE USA 2022, and that was the announcement of the XR Prize against climate change, a challenge in which $100,000 will bebe awarded during the next year.
You can find all the information here: XR Prize Climate Change Challenge

AWE is the most anticipated event in the XR sector, and also this year gathered a community of over 4000 live participants, 3000 people were connected through the app AWE.live, and 250 sellers were present in the exhibitor area.
The live broadcast on the AWE.live app, the opening of the expo and the even larger playground in November, with a very careful focus on augmented reality glasses, involved and enthused the participants.

And as Ori Inbar pointed out in the interview we did for ARea6DoF:
“It is incredible to think that in 2010 alone, the exhibition area was as large as the entire Qualcomm stand of today in 2022”.

SOME BEAUTIFUL ARTICLE THAT MADE THE HISTORY OF AWE USA 2022

Many articles have been written and many photos have been published online and the points of view were really so different that every time I read an article I felt like I was experiencing a part of the event I hadn’t attended.
A big thank you goes to all those who have written and posted their impressions and experiences on this event.

Here are some of the most interesting articles on AWE USA 2022, starting with the perfect Forbes article “AWE 2022 Wrap Up”, written by Charlie Fink (which I adore for his frankness, synthesis and his great competence), passing to the article “All the news from AWE 2022” of Tom Ffiske, who collected all the most interesting articles on the announcements of AWE USA 2022 as the event drew to a close, to move on to the phantasmagoric, punctual and always fun articles of Antony Vitillo who always smiles at us with his SkarredGhost blog (find here one of the most successful articles of this edition AWE 2022: Unity CEO talks about his vision of the metaverse), to finally find confirmation on the blog di AWE of what was the success of the entire show.

AWE.XR – AWE YOUTUBE CHANNEL – AWE.LIVE – AWE TEAM

An innovative event also from the point of view of the online presentation of the news and what was happening, with an Instagram profile, AWE.XR which expressed emotions through images, and with the live streaming on the AWE YouTube Channel from the playground that allowed, even those at home to know what was happening in California.

AWE.live app, which runs 365 days a year, and which has recently grown in number of subscribers and application development (a big thank you to the developers) has allowed live coverage all over the world.

Finally, the numerical growth of the AWE TEAM, confirming the fact that the initiatives of this company are all highly appreciated by the large community that follows them, was the icing on the cake. (Guys even if you are behind the scenes you are very strong!)
