Designing Reality: Understanding Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality Design

The reality of our future will be layered with Virtual (VR), Augmented (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) technologies. These technologies are being used to re-imagine, reconfigure, and redesign the world around us.

Imagine, you’re walking over a pile of land that will soon be occupied by your dream house. To design your house, from the kitchen, to the backyard, and even the colours on the walls, you may be using VR, AR, and MR technology.

Together these technologies help you design and craft exactly what you’re new home will look like, before a single brick is laid. You will be able to walk from room to room, experiencing what the space will look, feel, and perhaps even smell like.

We’re so used to walking through the world staring at our phones. But, these new technologies will enhance the world with a digital layer of information, forcing us to look up and around. These technologies are not about replacing the world, but they’re about enhancing our experience of what nature has already created.

There’s a very unique difference to AR, VR, and MR. They all serve a different purpose and in the future, we’ll be interacting with them in unique ways. To discover what the world may look like, and how these technologies will design our future, join Academy Xi’s event Designing Reality: Understanding Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality Design.

Ming Wei Chan, Virtual Reality Business and Experience Designer at PwC will join Saxon Dixon, Co-founder of Virtual Immersive, Nick Strine, Art Director at StartVR, and Allison Reid, COO of Company of Unicorns to discuss the difference between AR, VR, and MR, and what skills the industry is already looking for.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, isn’t investing $3 billion into this space for nothing. This is our future, so take the first step in investing in the skills that will redesign our reality.
