What do technologies like the Apple Vision Pro mean for exhibitions and experiences?

For people who create cultural destinations, the pace of technology has now become so fast it’s hard to keep up. AR, VR, AI. What’s happening in the “near future” of the technologies that will define our field for years to come? What is spatial computing? Are projection mapping and Pepper’s Ghosts early forms of augmented reality? Is the extreme personalization of all digital content causing problems we don’t even understand yet? Are museums a potential antidote?

Neil Redding (Near Futurist and SXSW Speaker) joins host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners) to discuss “The Near Future of Experience Design”.

Along the way: self-driving cars, the third era of computing, and getting fidgety about phygital.

Talking Points:

1. What is “Near Futurism”?

2. Applying Near Futurism to Experience Design

3. Are Physical and Digital Converging?

4. What is “Spatial Computing”?
5. The Near Future of Augmented Reality (AR)

6. The Near Future of Virtual Reality (VR)
