Launching Alternative Realities and Understanding Implications: mediaX Roundtable
The questions we study in the next 2 years will significantly impact new opportunities in content, usability, standards, and business models across application areas in health, business, entertainment, and education. This is a time-critical point for a multi-disciplinary, cross-industry exploration of the best questions for research – in both companies and Stanford labs.
Topics for discussion include:
·Human impact – attitude and behavior change, identity management, ethics and privacy, empowerment
·AI integration into VR/AR– scene comprehension, contextualization, ethics
·Platform opportunities – IP, accountability, ownership, micropayments, personalization, interoperability
