Description
The term "artificial intelligence" in popular media generally conjures up specters of computers gone mad: dystopian futures where humans have lost all control to self learning computers. But AI is all around us and in use every single day, from customer service bots to NPCs in video games. Join this session as we explore how AI is currently being used with XR, and how it can be used to enhance our experiences in the future.

Description
Humans have been communicating and working together since the beginning of time. We smile, gesture, use our eyes, hands, and posture to communicate meaning. We come to life when we meet face-to-face. But being together face-to-face has become even harder in today's global environment.
How do you replicate that experience - not the exactness of it, but the essence of it - in a fully immersive experience? What are the pros and cons of the wide array of virtual interactions including avatars, holograms, blended experiences, 3D content, AI and digital twins.
In this talk, the leaders behind Webex Hologram, Elizabeth Bieniek, Director of Engineering Innovation, and Cullen Jennings, CTO/Fellow, share their insights from building the industry's first holographic collaboration system, what it's truly like to interact with holographic colleagues, and share their predictions on what the future in this space may hold for us all.

Description
Digital identities will determine where, how, and to whom people appear in the metaverse. In these immersive, embodied spaces, avatars will add a new layer of representation and self-expression to our understanding of digital identity. As we work together to build the future metaverse, it will be critical to define and understand people’s expectations around representation, identity, and expression across both 2D and immersive surfaces. This session will explore our approach to tackling hard questions around identity, representation, and self-expression as we work to build the metaverse responsibly.

Description
Join us for some of the latest behind-the-scenes research in Google Advanced Technology and Projects Group. We introduce a new full-body interaction technique that uses miniaturized radar technology and advanced machine learning for the detection and recognition of spatial relations, as they naturally occur around devices (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-eh2K4HCzI). By continuously sensing spatial behaviors and movements, ambient computing devices can anticipate our intent, and participate in our everyday life in a more considerate and respectful way: they can reduce the need for direct interactions, or automate some actions in the background, so that the user doesn’t have to attend to them at all –ultimately freeing us from unnecessary tasks.
