About the Topic:
From the bustling kitchens of renowned restaurants to the sprawling fields of innovative farms, immersive technology is revolutionizing how we interact with food and nature. Imagine stepping into a world where a mere smartphone unveils a treasure trove of information about the nutritional content of your meal or guides you through a virtual farm tour, revealing real-time insights into soil health and crop conditions.

Using AR glasses, farmers can scan their crops and receive instant feedback on disease symptoms, revolutionizing the way diseases are detected and managed in agriculture. Thanks to VR simulations, farmers can visualize different crop varieties in their fields before planting, empowering farmers to make informed decisions that optimize crop yield and sustainability. Immersive training simulations empower restaurant or agricultural workers with hands-on experience in equipment operation and maintenance, reducing errors and optimizing efficiency.

Join us October 2nd at 1871 on an immersive journey where we'll dive deep into how AR, VR, and XR technologies are reshaping the future of Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources. Whether you're intrigued by the potential of immersive technologies or already envisioning the possibilities, get ready to unlock new perspectives, uncover innovative solutions, and discover the limitless possibilities of immersive tech.

What's The Format:

We will start with informal networking with demonstrations, then host a panel discussion to answer audience questions, and we end with more networking and demonstrations. We keep it simple and informal – this meetup is about you, our members, and not just a soap box for the host, presenters, or our sponsors. Come and get your questions answered, take your next step in Immersive Technology.
