Join us to meet up and discuss how we can grow our community and build some momentum before the upcoming Holographic Hackathon.



To initiate the conversation, I invite you to review this post (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-immersive-technologies-change-architecture-making-greg-howes?trk=prof-post) I made on immersive technologies in the building industry.



You may also want to join this linkedin group on "Mixed, Augmented and Virtual Reality in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8364351)." I manage the group and it now has over 1,000 members.



This group is intended to be complementary to the existing Seattle Area VR and AR communities, gaming networks, Unreal and Unity Meetups, the design community, Autodesk, Trimble and Dassault and more (I am active in those communities as well and we have a great open and collaborative network), but focused on the massive opportunities in building and real estate - and manufacturing (here is a great example (http://www.dezeen.com/2016/05/09/carbon-fibre-robotic-production-fourth-industrial-revolution-university-stuttgart-achim-menges/) of robots in architecture) as a growing sector of the building industry becomes digitized. I will invite some of the local reality capture (drones) and robotics experts from companies like Kuka as well.



Seattle can quickly emerge as the global leader in immersive technologies for enterprise including in the AEC and real estate. We have a lot of the leading companies in immersive tech and by collaborating across industries in an open community we can lead the world. Let's make it happen.



And here is a Kuka video
