This is a historic moment. We are on the cusp of a new generation of mobile computing. Latency-free 5G broadband networks, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies will converge in the next five years to change the world as we know it. Our devices will change dramatically and change us in ways no one can fully predict. Convergence tells the story of Augmented Reality, a new technology that’s seeping into every smartphone and every workplace. But the smartphone is just the beginning. We will soon wonder how we put up with its miserable form for so long. In this presentation of key ideas from his new book, author and Forbes columnist Charlie Fink will discuss how the convergence will lead to head-worn, interoperable AR/VR glasses and, ultimately, to wearable, invisible, computing. The book uses a kind of AR called "marker AR," to allow readers to use their smartphone to bring pages to life in surprising and entertaining ways to illustrate how the world, and everyone it, will be painted with data. More than a book about technology, this is about an evolutionary change in humankind.

Jim Heppelmann, CEO of PTC and co-author of A Manager’s Guide to Augmented Reality, will present the findings of his latest research collaboration with Prof. Michael Porter of the Harvard Business School. As the Augmented Reality (AR) market matures, there are a growing number of capabilities for industrial companies like the real-time capture of front-line processes from the expert’s point-of-view. With these new capabilities comes a set of choices around the strategy, content, and delivery of AR experiences. In this case-study driven keynote, Jim will present a framework of essential questions to capitalize on the promise of AR in the enterprise today.
