Polish Professionals in London zaprasza na seminarium na temat wirtualnej rzeczywistości (VR), technologii i możliwości zastosowania. Wirtualna rzeczywistość określana jest jako obraz sztucznej rzeczywistości, stworzony przy wykorzystaniu informatycznych techniologii. Wirtualna i wzbogacona rzeczywistość likwiduje mur między odbiorcą o osobą opowiadającą historię o swojej firmie, produkcie, usłudze. VR zapewnia użytkownikowi poczucie "obecności" czyli złudzenie bycia fizycznie obecnym w innym miejscu. Technologia VR daje nam możliwość, abyśmy byli aktywnymi uczestnikami zamiast pasywnymi widzami. Korzystając z urządzeń VR możemy patrzeć gdziekolwiek chcemy i współdziałać z wirtualnym światem w sposób, który wcześniej nie był możliwy. Podczas spotkania będzie okazja zobaczyć sprzęt wykorzystywany w VR. Spotkanie poprowadzi Artur Fiedorowicz. Kilka słów o prowadzącym Artur Fiedorowicz, absolwent elektroniki na Politechnice Wrocławskiej, pracował w londyńskich korporacjach jako software engineer i IT developement. Artur zaczął swoją przygodę z VR wygrywając międzynarodowy hackathon organizowany przez Ticketmaster / Live Nation ze swoim pomysłem na podgląd widoku z wybranego siedzenia w teatrze lub stadionie. Kilka miesięcy temu zrezygnował z pracy w korporacji i założył firmę ArtsyVR tworzącą aplikacje VR dla firm marketingowych i technologicznych. Przemawiał na konferencjach w Londynie, Moskwie, Madrycie i Polsce, ale najczęściej możecie znaleźć go na Twitterze (artsyvr) gdzie dostarcza nowinek na temat świata Virtual, Augmented oraz Mixed reality. Spotkanie organizujemy przy współpracy z firmą Capital Business Links, która na potrzeby spotkania udostepnia sali seminaryjnej w swojej siedzibie na Ealing. http://polskie-biuro-ksiegowe.co.uk/ http://cblfinance.com/
