Martin Schubert (Leap Motion): Spatial Computing and Your Body, the Interface

A talk from the Tools & Products Track at AWE USA 2017 - the largest conference for AR+VR in Santa Clara, California May 31- June 2, 2017.

Martin Schubert (Leap Motion): Spatial Computing and Your Body, the Interface
We know that over the next few years daily computing will being to look very different, but how will it feel? This talk will focus on how new forms of input, specifically hand tracking, will allow for both more subtle and far richer interactions than we’ve ever had with our technology, and at mass consumer scale. Millions of years of evolution have made us masters of navigating and interacting within 3D environments and now, finally, we will be able to interact with virtual objects the way we evolved to interact with the real world. Very quickly we will progress from tapping and swiping on small rectangular glass surfaces to using our whole bodies to interact with spatial interfaces. What can we learn and apply to this new spatial human-computer paradigm from the long histories of 3D disciplines like architecture and industrial design? And what new possibilities will these interfaces afford us? Join us for a discussion of experiments and discoveries made while working with tomorrow's input device, your body.
