The way we work is changing at a rapid pace, propelled by the fast adoption of digital technologies, and normalization of remote and hybrid working.
Organizations are already boarding the XR bandwagon, especially for hard skills – and there is growing need to integrate XR in other areas including soft skills, workplace learning and capacity building, as well as the overall employee experience and motivation- which are enhanced by the use of VR and AR.
This comes at a time when the younger generation is already using and becoming more comfortable with XR, thereby setting an expectation that organizations utilize these tools when they become part of the workforce.
This panel will discuss the changing workplace and the various dimensions of integrating XR within organizations giving food for thought to reimagine the future of work.

VR and AR tools have provided numerous ways to align and expand the physical and virtual, and our interpersonal interactions can be shaped by these experiences. New research from StanfordVR has provided additional context to our learnings about avatars and virtual environments. Whether you are a developer, artist or stakeholder, come discuss the latest with our panel of industry leaders, researchers, artists, and visionaries.
A variety of perspectives will be taken into account, from philosophy to AI-generated content, platforms, avatar embodiment, and ethics. Based on audience questions, the group will also cover cross-reality methods for training, entertainment, and personal development as takeaways for creating effective and memorable experiences.

The grand challenge of the 21st Century is to create socially and ethically adept hybrid networks of humans and machines. The augmentation of human abilities and global ecological systems will play a critical role in our future. AI agents are already deeply integrated into society and integral to many activities from dating, driving, coding, to policing and Large Language Models and Multimodal AI have already changed the way we communicate, work, and play. But, while Augmented Ecologies are now reaching beyond industry experts and scientists to the rest of us with generative AI, these new hybrid ecologies between humans and machines will diminish individual human autonomy and agency if we do not empower people to create, manage and participate in them. This panel will look at this grand challenge for the future of an Augmented World!

Brought to you by XR Guild, this panel is a cross-section of AR and XR teams using a mix of technologies for immersive play, immediate information, real-time training and augmentation of the workforce. Whether the use cases are public or private, the inquiries we engage when creating new AR and XR experiences are quite similar:
* How do we engage a process of transparency and informed consent when sharing data?
* Where do individuals and collaborative teams need insight into where data is shared or used?
* How do we effectively communicate how data is used in research and development of new tools?
* Where do we engage conversations around ethics, privacy, data sharing, identity and policy together across our industries?
* How do generative tools and AI fit into our ideas of informed data sharing and consent with attribution?
* What role can the public and the creative industries play in shaping a more cohesive and meaningful immersive and interactive experience for the public? Where are the gaps in that experience today?
* When there are disagreements between companies, nations or industry perspectives, how are these decisions being made today, and how can we be doing this work more effectively together?
This panel will feature some of the specialists and speakers from the board and leadership of XR Guild, subject to their availability (and ensuring that these are not repeats from other panels or talks). Evo Heyning will moderate this panel with a diverse mix of AR/XR voices contributing.
