<p>This is a great opportunity to save hundreds of dollars on your pass to XRDC, the premier industry event for AR/VR/MR developers and innovators. This year the event will serve up an invigorating array of speakers and exhibitors in a beautiful new waterfront venue: the Fort Mason Festival Pavilion in San Francisco.</p>
<p>The whole event is being revamped to be more interactive and engaging, and&nbsp;this year there’s an all-new XRDC pass for sale, the Startup Pass, which is nearly&nbsp;half the price of the regular pass and specifically designed to&nbsp;give smaller teams and trailblazing startups a clear path to success at XRDC!</p>
<p>So make sure to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.xrdconf.com/attend/passes.php?_mc=blog_x_gama_le_x_xrdc_x_x-xrdc19">look over&nbsp;XRDC&nbsp;passes and prices</a>&nbsp;and register before tomorrow’s deadline to get the best price on your ticket to the big event.</p>
<p>A number of exciting sessions have already been announced, including&nbsp;DeepMotion chief Kevin He’s intriguing&nbsp;<a href="http://www.xrdconf.com/conference/entertainment-ar-vr.php?_mc=blog_x_gama_le_x_xrdc_x_x-xrdc19">Entertainment track</a> talk on “Using AI to Create Interactive Digital Actors,”&nbsp;&nbsp;in which he’ll discuss the challenges of (and science behind)&nbsp;building an interactive character authoring tool —&nbsp;as well as how companies can integrate intelligent character simulation into their own games and experiences.</p>
<p>Plus,&nbsp;Packet39 cofounder&nbsp;Shachar Weis will be there to how you how VR is improving children’s healthcare in his XRDC&nbsp;<a href="http://www.xrdconf.com/conference/healthcare-ar-vr.php?_mc=blog_x_gama_le_x_xrdc_x_x-xrdc19">Healthcare track</a>&nbsp;talk on “MRI Simulator: Using Biofeedback Loops to Reduce Anxiety in Children.”</p>
<p>You’ll see how this simulator was designed by combining&nbsp;elements from game design, immersive technologies and biofeedback to help patients train before the scan, and remain calm and still during, improving image quality and shortening the scan duration.</p>
<p>And in their <a href="http://www.xrdconf.com/conference/enterprise-ar-vr.php?_mc=blog_x_gama_le_x_xrdc_x_x-xrdc19">Enterprise track</a> talk on “Building Virtual Reality for Public Safety”, The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Sarah Hughes and Jack Lewis&nbsp;will share lessons learned in designing VR experiences to improve public safety, developing VR&nbsp;environments with the first responder community, trials and tribulations from 500+ demos, and more. Expect to walk away understanding what&nbsp;worked well — and what failed miserably!</p>
