✨ Industrial Virtual Worlds Day at Stereopsia: A Recap ✨ David Nahon (Dassault System) delivered the opening keynote, emphasizing how XR effectively engages our "reptilian brains" 🧠 for effective training and game-changing industrial applications. The "CONNECT" session featured pitches from 9 European XR ecosystems 🇪🇺, followed by roundtable discussions to identify areas for collaboration among the XR community. 🤝 The "THINK TANK" session on Industry 5.0 explored the human side of XR, highlighting how it can revolutionize human interaction by blending emotion, fun, and functionality into engaging and personalized experiences. 🤔🚀 In the closing session, Luis Bravo Martins (XRSI) painted a captivating vision of virtual worlds 🔮 shaped by how we interact with space, objects, and people in the digital realm. As data grows exponentially, we need to navigate this evolution with a human-centered approach that prioritizes ethics, interoperability, accessibility, and trust.

🚀 [Stereopsia 2024 – Day 1] Perspectives on Industrial Virtual Worlds ! 💡 This past Monday, we proudly hosted a panel at Stereopsia moderated by Sebastien Nahon (MiiL/UCLouvain), featuring Anne Bajart (DG Connect), Anne Barré (GSK), and Matthieu Worm (Siemens) who shared their insights on Industrial Virtual Worlds!  🎤 The key takeaways! Real-world impact: 💥 GSK uses VR with AI avatars for training, while Siemens leverages digital twins for process visualization. Europe's role: 🇪🇺 Europe aims to drive innovation and play a leading role in the Virtual Worlds industrial ecosystem by funding R&D, fostering partnerships, and developing skills. Collaboration is crucial: 🤝Siemens stressed the importance of open ecosystems and partnerships. Talent gap: 🧑💻 The need for skilled XR professionals is growing, especially in startups and SMEs. Security first: 🔒 Data security and IP protection are key in virtual worlds. Ethical considerations: 🤔 Responsible development with a focus on European values such as privacy and ethics is essential. Thank you to our panelists and attendees! A huge thank you to Michael Barngrover & XR4Europe for his invaluable help in putting this panel together! 🙏 #XR #VirtualWorlds #Stereopsia #Innovation #Europe #Collaboration #Ethics Sebastien Nahon Annabelle Gouze Mathieu Demaré Michael Barngrover Alexandra GERARD Thierry Jourquin Kevin El Haddad Thierry Dutoit Savine Moucheron 🔜 Stereopsia Audrey Loos Media Innovation & Intelligibility Lab - MiiL GSK Siemens Le CLICK Technocité Sambrinvest S3 Wallonia | Smart Specialisation Strategy SPW Economie Emploi Recherche

#stereopsia : Europe foremost XR event held in Brussels this week. Virtual worlds to support industries. Great use cases presented by GSK and Siemens Europe wants to be the leader in this field. So many opportunities for companies. Education: we obviously need (serious) game developers but also students in management, with a deep understanding of company processes! Struggling to recruit! We are on the right way. U Louvain &Hitt: Sebastien Nahon EU commission: Anne Bajart GSK: Anne Barré Siemens: Matthieu Worm

Série : Spécialisation intelligente en Wallonie (4/6) XR (pour Expanded Reality) : ces deux lettres englobent toutes les technologies immersives et interactives, qu’il s’agisse des réalités augmentées, des réalités virtuelles ou des réalités mixtes. Dans le cadre du DIS 3 (Domaine d’innovations stratégiques) consacré à la conception et à la production agile, Sebastien Nahon et Thierry Jourquin, les deux pilotes de l’Initiative d’innovation stratégique HITT, comptent bien faire percoler ce vocable dans toutes les strates d’activité concernées par la S3 Wallonne | Stratégie de Spécialisation Intelligente. « Notre boulot consiste à mettre en avant ces nouveaux formats digitaux 3D et en temps réel dans le monde de l’entreprise », indique le Dr Sébastien Nahon, directeur du Media Innovation & Intelligibility Lab - MiiL de l’UCLouvain - Université catholique de Louvain. « Mais aussi à amener les entreprises à aller plus rapidement vers la transformation numérique et à adopter ces technologies XR dans leur fonctionnement », précise aussitôt Thierry Jourquin, directeur d'XRintelligence, une entreprise active dans les technologies et les solutions XR dopées à l’intelligence artificielle. « Parce qu’au final, l’objectif est bien d’accélérer le processus de réindustrialisation de la Région grâce à ces nouvelles technologies, qu’on pourrait qualifier de post-digitales. »
