Augmented Reality or AR for short, is an interactive experience of a real-world environment whose elements are augmented by perceptual information generated by computer. Augmented Reality is the ability to integrate digital information into a real-time experience. It is the result of utilizing technology to superimpose images, sounds and text on the world we see. At this year’s edition of the WT | Wearable Technologies Conference in San Francisco on July 11-12 we will highlight great thought leaders and innovators from all over the globe. The companies and their leaders speaking at the conference are listed below. Do not miss the chance to meet and listen to them in person and join us for #WTUS18!
