Mixed Reality Concepts
Event created by Michael Hamaoka
Mixed Reality combines real-world and computer-generated images, recently highlighted by the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3. This talk explores apps and games developed for mixed reality headsets. Using a browser or VR headset and the Spatial platform, your avatar walks around models, displays, and videos on both the underlying concepts and how they have been used in various application types such as education, stories, puzzles, FPS, music, and more.
Our guest presenter Mark Jeffcock is a semi-retired software architect interested in virtual reality. For the last 4 years, Mark has been teaching remotely in virtual reality on various subjects: such as virtual world building, Unity, VR hardware, game-building, mixed reality development, photogrammetry, and gaussian splatting.

Spatial.io supports web browser access, most VR headsets (though their stores), and mobile devices. See Download Spatial.io for specifics. Be aware that through the web browser access (Firefox recommended, then Chrome, then Edge), you will see your avatar in a second person perspective. If your OS and mouse support it, use the scroll wheel to zoom in for a first person experience. The VR perspective is first person.
