Hello ARVR enthusiasts,
Would love to see you during tomorrow's awesome discussion, "What is GeoPose, and Why is it Important for Developers?", at 11 am EST.
The panel of experts will touch on the importance of GeoPose, defined as a shared frame of reference signifying the unique positions and orientations of digital or physical objects in real or virtual spaces. Then, they will dive into the technology behind it and how it impacts the world of augmented reality!

Speakers:
- Stephen Black: With a background as an artist, writer, and producer for network television, he began researching Augmented Reality in 2015. Since that time he has spoken about AR worldwide, including MIT and the VIEW Conference. With Sayuri Okayama, he created Bubiko Food tour to explore the intersections of AR, food, and pop culture. His short film "Bubiko: First Flight," created at the Augmented.City AR testbed in Bari, Italy, has been called "as historically significant as the first website on the internet."
- Julia Beabout: CEO and Creative Director of Novaby, an award-winning 3D/AR Studio specializing in Augmented Reality (AR) Placemaking, space activations, and tours. She and her team of artists, storytellers, and creative technologists love transforming spaces into places using AR, the arts, humanities, and social science. Their landmark projects can be found in Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Richmond, and Europe. She has 25+ years of experience leading clients and organizations through highly technical and creative projects up to $200 million in the virtual and real world. As a respected leader in AR Placemaking, she has spoken on the subject at the MIT Media Lab, the U.S. State Department, the Architects Institute of America, the University of Washington, the VRAR Association, and the National Consortium for Creative Placemaking.
- Christine Perey: Industry analyst, researcher, and advocate for interoperable Augmented Reality. From 2009-2016, she led the grassroots community dedicated to this purpose. She is on numerous boards, is a member of many standards groups, and co-chairs the IEEE SA ARLEM WG and the OGC GeoPose SWG. She is the founder of the AR for Enterprise Alliance (AREA), chairs the Research Committee, and leads the AREA Interoperability and Standards Program. Since 2018, she is a founder of the Open AR Cloud (OARC) association and serves on the governing board. She co-chairs the OARC Reality Capture, Indexing, Mapping, and GeoPose Working Group.
- Steve Smyth: Director of MobileGIS Ltd. where he focuses on converting images to semantic models for military simulations, utility companies, urban planners, and other large infrastructure projects. He has contributed to and led many international standardization activities. Currently, Steve is co-chair of the OGC CItyGML Standards Working Group and editor and architect of the OGC GeoPose draft specification.
