This Meetup will feature...

An overview of eXtended Reality, describing how

=> display technologies VR, AR, MR,
=> sensing technologies IoT and XR cameras,
=> computing technologies AI and Fog / ambient computing,
=> hybrid technologies like robotics (including autonomous vehicles)
=> and other advances spurred by exponentially increasing computational power

are interrelated and interdependent. It is not many fields; it is all one field. We are all working on different parts of the same thing!

And we will drill down on XR cameras, reviewing the under $1,000 prosumer VR cameras LucidCam and Vuze, and exploring what is an XR camera (what exists, what is coming, and why it's important).
