The Future of Communication
Keynotes were very worthwhile and provided a variety of insights on managing large data. I found David Smith’s presentation on how NASA is training our astronauts with augmented reality using Oculus truly fascinating. He showed how we’re training astronauts to potentially land on an asteroid! The ability to immerse yourself into a virtual world for simulation and training was truly fascinating. I’m not sure that the full impact of what he showed was understood by everyone. As for me it represented the true look into the future for our society as it relates to training, and even communication. There will be a day in the not too distant future where our children will be using this same technology in education and even in their daily careers. Mr. Smith provided a very early look into the future.
