The project involved 12 companies (Nokia, Fortum, Granlund, Ruukki, Rejlers, 3DTalo, FinCloud, FinWE, Kii, SkyHighVR, Stereoscape, Whitepoint) and 5 research units (University of Tampere, Aalto University, VTT, FGI and University of Lapland). We applied bleeding edge technologies such as
photogrammetry and laser scanning, wide area AR, haptics and gaze tracking into pressing problems that are found among industry. We published new research papers, proposed novel designs, crafted cool demos and tried things out in the field. This seminar will uncover it all.
The seminar will feature inspiring keynote talks by prominent influencers in the field, results presentations by VARPU participants, and numerous cool demos. Free entrance (but limited seating, so
register early.
