Meeting Goals
The purpose of the OGC Augmented Reality Summit is to promote discussion among ecosystem stakeholders for the development of open and interoperable AR content and experiences. We will:
- Discover new barriers to data preparation, integration and interoperability for Augmented Reality viewing and discuss strategies to minimize their impacts
- Learn of continuing and newly initiated activities relevant to open and interoperable AR and
- Discuss challenges to data preparation and integration for AR visualization which may be addressed via existing, new or emerging standards.
