VR and Immersive Analytics In Action w/ SAS Institute

RTPVR is proud to host Michael Thomas, Systems Architect of SAS Institute, who will talk about Immersive Analytics with a focus on a VR prototype shown at the National Retail Federation Big Show in New York City in January. “Immersive Analytics” is a term adopted by IEEE that spans analytical applications across AR, VR and large flat screen approaches. Michael will speak about the prototype demo, the strong showing of VR at the Big Show including the debut of multiple VR products and the unique challenges of bringing VR in to the enterprise software market. The concepts of augmented virtual reality and data reality will be discussed as concrete approaches for expressing data in virtual reality. The prototype will be available for demos.

As always, RTPVR will be filling the room with Virtual Reality Professionals and Enthusiasts, as well as demos for all to try.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
