"Securing Microsoft Metaverse: Challenges and Solutions"

During the presentation we take a short journey of Virtual Dawn and how they have been trying to figure out the best way to provide a solution for businesses to take the most from XR since 2017. 

We go trough the issues around having a "killer app" and how finding out the best uses of XR requires a new way of approaching the technology. 

Virtual Dawn is providing a small part of the future metaverse by providing SDK to create complex content with relative ease. We showcase Hololens 2 content that has been made with it to TREDU Vocational school in Finland and our content for VR that is being used by companies and education sector. 

We are aiming to deliver a message about the importance of adapting new ways of business activities and organization to help the XR technology bring the best ROI and user cases. 

Virtual Dawn is self funded company so we offer a very hands on and fact based discussion about how the metaverse could look like and what has been done in our perspective for it now. 

One of the takeaways we wish to deliver is importance of gamification, and what it really means to make a simulation to the level of a video game. And how generational change will challenge the way of thinking we have today. 

We expect active and challenging conversations after the presentation. 

Democratization of immersive content creation

Beyond the cool factor and hype lies a space of opportuntiy where investments in detailed 3D modelling can trhive in the industrial metaverse.

The Infrastrucure Metaverse: Practical yet Cool

This session will delve into the Industrial Metaverse and its groundbreaking potential to transform industries. We will showcase a joint venture between the innovation agency Hololux and ZF Friedrichshafen, a global automotive supplier, highlighting their collaboration project. The session will provide insights into the prototype's technical architecture created using cutting-edge technologies such as Azure Digital Twins, Unity, NVIDIA Omniverse, and a custom Mixed Reality experience.

How Artificial Intelligence Will Enable the Creation Of The Metaverse

Definition of metaverse varies a lot. As do the technologies it includes, the applications which are part of it, or whether it even exists.
This talk will describe how metaverse is commonly understood, what kind of viewpoints it can be looked at, and why it is important to have a clear definition. It will hop around the technologies that act as building blocks for the metaverse, to understand the tools everyone is using to build the future.
The talk will go through different ways to categorize the metaverse and tries to find common ground on which everyone can discuss metaverse purely as a theory we're aiming towards or as a commercial business solution we could all be utilizing now.

Can we create a standard definition for the metaverse that is or will become reality? Or are we destined to look at metaverse as figment of imagination that cannot be reached without radical technological, societal and economical changes.


What does it all mean? - Metaverse Semantics

Metaverse technologies are quickly changing the way we present, - from avatars, to immersive views, to mixed reality collaboration.  This session will explore some creative ways to use immersive collaboration to spice up presentations to be more engaging, memorable, and impactful.

Spicing up Your Presentations with Metaverse Tech

In this session, we learn how to program the Tello drone using Unity 3D and . NET. We have an overview of networking and how to program a UDP Client and Server that communicates with the drone. We can control and tweak the drone's behaviors by sending messages and special commands to the drone.
By integrating MRTK, you will get a glimpse of the mixed reality spectrum and get tips & tricks on how to get into this space.
The game changer is what tools support your AR/VR/MR journey. Cross-platform tools like Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK) make this jump a little easier. Learn how  MRTK can kick-start your MR exploration with an enhanced volumetric UX / UI system and predefined components that accelerate cross-platform development.
Learn about Azure Cognitive Services and how these can bring the drone to life!
Finally, we will experience a live demo / Video flying the drone across multiple XR Devices - Which ones? Will be revealed at the beginning of the session :) 

Unleashing the Power of Unity 3D and MRTK to Fly a Drone in Mixed Reality.
