A 14-Year Old’s Perspective on the XR Industry
Room B1Sabarish believes that XR is going to change our lives through the creation of alternate and parallel worlds. The fundamental technology exists but it’s nowhere near where it needs to be to change our lives on such a large scale. Dreaming about this future isn’t going to cut it. Sabarish wants to turn this sci-fi dream into a reality and pioneer the extended reality space. Sabarish is going to discuss the future of XR, how it’s going to impact his generation, what technology providers are getting wrong and how we should be approaching the future of XR.
