Now, Next, Future: Retail XR Lifecycle

Description

3D assets are being deployed everywhere: in e-commerce, marketing, product design, architecture, learning, education, professional training, and art. Pervasive 3D presents great opportunity to the content development community, because it represents a growing cross-industry marketplace for their skills but it also presents specific challenges. When products and assets are being deployed everywhere, they must work anywhere: on any operating system, any platform, and any device. In the e-commerce business model, the entire value chain can leverage 3D assets at scale if they can make them reusable and consistent.

This panel brings together experts from each part of the e-commerce value chain from retailer to content creator to 3D developer to tool provider to discuss how to build a scalable 3D production pipeline and the impact of 3D and XR on the e-commerce evolution. Panelists will share case studies and talk about how 3D and XR are changing consumer expectations from the moment of conception with product development and design, to pre-commerce, all the way through the entire pipeline to the post-purchase journey.

The panel will also explore what is possible by achieving the 3D-rich retail landscape through standardization of technology. Panelists will talk about their ongoing work with open standards to resolve longstanding challenges, how artists, developers, agents, retailers, and content creators can incorporate existing tools and guidelines into their workflows, and what can be gained from investment in XR. Panelists, all members of The Khronos Group's 3D Commerce Working Group, will discuss what the problems with creating, distributing and storing 3D and XR assets, what solutions exist today, why they are investing in 3D, and the vision for the future where 3D and AR content is leveraged for machine learning, production and more.

Immersive experiences are about to become the new frontier of marketing, providing customers with more control over their experience and the ability to invite in and experience brands they love. With the looming fight for attention, brands need to understand the opportunities and threats: how to be discovered, how to be "invited in" as trusted partners in XR , and how to stay involved when consumers navigate their world with Augmented Reality as the information and experience layer. With new ways to access XR experiences, this panel will explore how consumers will use XR to engage with brands in a variety of ways - including potentially excluding them completely - and how brands should be approaching how to set themselves up for success in the near future.

In this talk, Camera IQ co-founder Allison Ferenci will discuss the secrets for creating AR experiences that impact the entire decision-making funnel.
