See keynotes with Paul DuffyWe live our lives as data hunters and gatherers, surrounded with a swarming chaos of input informing our every decision from dentistry to nation building. But how much of this given information can we absorb or even pay attention to? Data visualization attempts to represent the changing whirl of factoids, but in itself overpowers our attention span and confuses the decision maker. Applying narrative holography to the data problem allows us to experience information as never before – as three-dimensional experience in space open to discovery and exploration. For organizations transforming to a data-driven strategy, Paul Duffy reveals the limitless potential of dimensionality within data, unlocked through a series of interactive holographic episodes. This keynote pushes the envelope beyond mere data visualization, into the next medium of real space.
Ever since the mobile internet, retail has struggled for local presence. Now, immersive holography promises to return the initiative to brands and retailers everywhere, as point of sales becomes unique. Transforming the retail space whether in store or at home into personalized experiences, product holography extends beyond new launches into highly memorable repeat visits and lifetime loyalty. Experience a creator and entrepreneur in the retail space who has pushed the envelope in consumer consideration and purchasing behavior. Paul Duffy delivers real-world insight into remaking the retail experience as local, contextual and unforgettable. Keynotes and workshops for all those looking to lead forth innovation in commerce.
Evolving out of the gaming world, the Metaverse has attracted worldwide attention, investment and its own share of controversy. The Spatial Realm, on the other hand, is a nascent potential which is yet to exercise its magic in the public consciousness. Merging AR and AI, the Spatial Realm can be considered the opposite of the Metaverse – not going beyond this world but renewing and refreshing real space through holographic habitats and narrative episodes. If the Metaverse is a virtual world too far away from real-world concerns, is the Spatial Realm the bridge to solving complex problems from human presence and product returns to local footfall and data-driven decision making? This keynote contrasts two grand strategies currently in play and explores the gaps between merely digital and cyber-physical fusion – gaming and activating.
