The goal for this meetup is to develop a real robot dog that fetches a virtual bone, responds to voice commands and can register events on the MagicVerse blockchain-- all with Unity3D technologies and AI tools.
The robot dog we will work on (his name is Astro and likes wearing a modified Magic Leap One of course):
--------------------------------------------------
Dan will talk to us about all things Unity, with a focus on developing killer Mixed Reality experiences for the Magic Leap One Headset using Unity3D 2019 and will listen to our feedback about using Unity for Magic Leap development.
During Dan's livestream, Stephanie from Magic Leap, will be doing a live demonstration using Magic Leap One to illustrate Dan's point. Afterward, she will talk about Magic Leap development and AI in general.
--------------------------------------------------
Our host for this amazing evening is Dr. William Hahn, Research Scientist & Co-Director Machine Perception & Cognitive Robotics Laboratory -- one of the most unique facilities in South Florida

All attendees will get to experience live demonstrations of various AR/VR/AI tools with demos on Vive Pro, Magic Leap One and many robotic systems.
Praveen Yalamanchi, the event organizer, will demonstrate consumer grade AI robotics such as Anki Vector & Cosmo and their Python / Unity3D / Amazon Alexa SDKs as well as augmented reality only (non-physical) robots.

And since we are a game developer user group here is one of the augmented reality robot battle games we will build:
--------------------------------------------------
Our findings and will be presented at an AI Ted Talk on June 6th in front of South Florida's leading AI experts from Magic Leap, Modernizing Medicine, Office Depot, etc. where our robodog Astro will lead a scavenger hunt for 200 people around the IBM Boca Raton campus to find the original room where Bill Gates worked with IBM to invent the PC.

We have a large classroom (RM 303) for lectures but will be in RM 421 MPCR Robotics Lab for most of the evening.
The doors for the Behavior Science Building are locked after hours but don't worry, we'll be sending volunteers downstairs regularly to let late arrivals inside.
