INTRODUCTIONS

1

Nirmal Mehta:Chief Technologist. He has 10 years of Distributed Application architectures andemerging technology research, prototype development and implementation.He leads the firm’s efforts in Immersive Machine Intelligence and emergingtechnology strategy. He focuses on bringing leading edge technologies toenterprise systems for commercial and public-sector clients.

Cameron Kruse:Lead Technologist. He works within Booz Allen’s Strategic Innovation Groupworking on projects at the intersection of AI and immersive technology. Helikes working in this space as he sees technology as something that should helphumans better explore and connect with the world around us.

Drew Farris:Chief Technologist. He is one of Booz Allen’s machine learning subject matterexperts. He mostly focused on Information Retrieval and Natural LanguageProcessing, he has a latent love of Virtual Reality, with an undergrad degree inComputer Graphics.

IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGY NEEDS AI AI NEEDS IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGY

ALL EMERGING TECHNOLOGY GAIN PREVALENCE AS AN ECOSYSTEM OF CONNECTED TECHNOLOGIES. TO CHART A PATH INTO THE FUTURE, IT IS BETTER TO LOOK AT THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN TECHNOLOGIES.

• We see the key convergences creating theconnections that will shape the future to beCloud Computing, AI, and ImmersiveTechnology.

• Both AI and Immersive are diverse sets oftechnologies. Today we will put most of ourfocus on the intersection of AI and VR.

• The convergence of AI and AR is also veryinteresting, but for the sake of clarity we’llleave it for a future conversation.

USING GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NETWORKS TO CREATE 3D CONTENT

CONTENT CREATION IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE AND TIME CONSUMING PART OF DEVELOPING IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES. USING AI TO CREATE 3D CONTENT COULD CUT COSTS AND MAKE ARTISTS FASTER AT THEIR JOBS.
