Plonk! A 4D Puzzle - Sean Simon and William Major
Plonk! A 4D Puzzle is a time-bending Mixed Reality game that reshapes the very concept of a jigsaw puzzle with two extra dimensions.
Minimis Flow: Made in Sydney to Disrupt Garmin - Muhammad Irfan
Most sports wearables today are just accessories for your phone. At Minimis, they've designed the world’s first standalone AR smart glasses engineered right here in Sydney to replace the bike computer and the smartwatch. They'll be giving a high-speed look at the mechanical design and manufacturing journey of Prototype 5, and how they're building hardware to liberate athletes from their screens.
