The Metaverse hype came and went, Web 3.0 seems to have been frozen by the Crypto Winter and AI is both thrilling and terrifying. Many companies are challenged by what technologies can bring the most value in the short-, mid- and long term. How do we start and where can we go?
Some of the most exciting advancements are in the realm of AI-powered simulation, optimization, digital twins, virtual humans and sensor technology. The best strategies bring a human-centric approach to leveraging these technologies.
In this talk, we will share how this digital evolution will be the enabler not only of business optimization and simulation, but will also lay the foundation for the products and services of the future. We will combine human capital with visionary practices and pave the path to the future with technology and vision.
We will review:
• What Spatial Computing, the 3D Internet and Web 3.0 really mean for companies
• Augmenting Human Performance
• Digital Twins and Simulation – visualizing and optimizing processes
• Building parallel innovations paths

Can Virtual Reality trigger a paradigm shift in how we tackle climate change, racial biases, and intergroup conflicts? To answer this question, Alina Nikolaou, PhD analyzed over thirty years of empirical research about the effect of VR experiences on social attitudes and behavior. The findings reveal critical and surprising insights about the roles of immersive modality, embodiment and perspective-taking;and they inform XR technologists, policy-makers and activists alike about the bold opportunities, and formidable risks, of using VR to change how people think about complex social topics.
