Today, virtual reality lets us immerse ourselves in vibrant digital spaces with a surprising sense of social presence—the feeling that you’re right there with someone else, no matter where in the world they happen to be. But technology that opens up new possibilities can also be used to cause harm, especially when your virtual identity is segregated from your real identity. In VR, we sometimes see abusive behaviors such as harassing, bullying, grooming, and racial or sexual discrimination.
How do we prevent bad behaviors and engender pro-social behaviors in VR? How do we encourage people to trust and respect each other when they remain anonymous? In this talk, I'll walk through how we can build trust systems in a virtual environment, how social norms of virtual social spaces compare and differ from real life, and what principles we should follow to ensure we are building for inclusivity and safety of all types of people.

The AR Cloud will become the most important communication medium of our time, providing connections and context between people, places and connected machines. We will discuss available SDK's and cover the essential elements, components, and tools required to develop public and private spatial computing applications. We'll walk through real world examples created with the YOUAR Cloud SDK to illustrate how to create, use and leverage AR Cloud infrastructure at your facility today.

Augmented reality applications hold immense potential to bring people to go outdoors and share experiences with each other. However, to create seamless mixed reality experiences, AR apps require our devices to display perception and comprehension of our environment. In this presentation, I focus on the technical approaches to provide AR apps with the ability to localize and identify other devices, which by extension enables players to enjoy multiplayer AR experiences in which they can interact with each other directly. Vizar Technologies proposes an image processing approach, in which light pulses are emitted in specific light signatures, to provide direct multiplayer AR in smartphones. Our approach is compared with other common approaches, including GNSS with gravimetric and geomagnetic sensors, facial recognition, and add-on devices. As outlook, a few examples of possible future multiplayer AR experiences are highlighted.
