Monday, January 6, 2020, 16:00-17:30: IEEE Future Directions – IEEE
Chairs: Thomas Coughlin (Coughlin Associates, USA), Kathy Grise (IEEE, USA)
Predicting and immersing one with the future is always a challenge and a desire. The IEEE rises to that challenge based upon the work it does on multiple new and emerging technologies through serving as a catalyst for developing new innovations, products and services.
IEEE Future Directions serves as an incubator for these new initiatives. One of its focus areas, Digital Reality serves to explore and enable the coming Digital Transformation through collaboration among technologists, engineers, regulators, practitioners, and ethicists around the world. The Digital Transformation is fueled by advances in technology, such as sensors and actuators, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), and applications using the copious amounts of continuously generated data. By leveraging these technologies and others developed such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Digital Twins, the line between the physical world and the digital world will be increasingly less distinct. Applications are already quickly emerging across the broad fields of education, manufacturing, medicine, entertainment, automotive, enabling the sharing of services, and more.
The session moderated by Kathy Grise, will demonstrate the “intelligent” interplay and intersections among AI, ML, and immersive technologies as they drive the overall Digital Transformation. Emphasis will be upon presenting practical applications and its implementations of interest to consumer electronics.
Speakers include, Samina Husain, Consultant, Nicholas Napp, Xmark Labs, LLC, Rudi Schubert, IEEE Standards, Lee Stogner, Vincula Group.
