Charles Palmer, Director of the Center for Advanced Entertainment & Learning Technologies (CAELT) at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology presents on the history of VR and the technologies used to create and inhabit these worlds using examples from large companies to smaller just in time solutions.

How will virtual reality change the future of education? With a failing education system stuck in the past, Samsung x VICELAND talk to education innovators, students and more about the amazing ways VR is impacting the way we learn.

Presentation Summary: Virtual, augmented, and mixed reality are hot technology topics, but how will these emerging technologies impact education, the medical profession, and industry? What platforms are currently available and how can librarians and educators implement them successfully? In this webinar, we will explore how libraries are sharing virtual, augmented, and mixed reality with their communities. MLA CE Contact Hours for this NNLM hosted video is only available within the first 6 months of its presentation.

Florian Radke talks about how Augmented reality is not a toy, it’s a powerful tool that will help solve some of the worlds biggest problems. If we do it right, it can be the next great platform for education, human connection and productivity. Like Iron man, we all will soon be surrounded by data and 3D models that we can interact with, as early as the year 2025. Florian is currently leading communications at Meta, an augmented reality (AR) company that is one of the companies at the forefront of designing our AR future. Meta’s focus is not on creating experiences that distract or pull us out of the real world, but rather that enhance our natural environments and facilitate greater learning and communication than has been available before. The possible applications range from more immersive classroom learning to a collaborative creative tool that can be used in real time to bring storytellers together from around the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

Kathleen Van Benthem - Carleton University Augmented and virtual reality have vast applications, beyond those found in the gaming industry. The Advanced Cognitive Engineering (ACE) Flight Cognition Lab at Carleton University has combined flight simulation technology with new head-mounted virtual reality devices to develop novel experiments. This talk will present findings from the ACE Lab that highlight critical aspects of cognition for aviation and how this cognition may be impacted by augmented and virtual reality technologies in the flight deck. I will also discuss how attention to the needs of industry partners and end-users has influenced our ongoing work in augmented and virtual reality, such as the development of a cognitive health screening tool for pilots using the Oculus Rift TM, and use of the Microsoft HoloLens TM for airborne surveillance operations. BIO: Kathleen Van Benthem is a postdoctoral fellow at the ACE Lab (2015-2017) and teaches at the Institute of Cognitive Science at Carleton University. Dr. Van Benthem's primary work uses immersive flight simulation environments to isolate key cognitive and system determinants of pilot performance in situation awareness, basic aircraft control, and prospective memory. In collaboration with the National Research Council, Dr. Van Benthem also contributes to research on electroencephalographic (EEG) signatures of cognitive vigilance using dense array and sparse wireless EEG systems. Her present work is partially supported by AGE-WELL, a federally funded Networks of Centres of Excellence program. Dr. Van Benthem has been an Occupational Therapist, Education Consultant, and the Director of Policy and Standards for the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists. http://clue.carleton.ca/ Royalty Free Music from Bensound
