NYC Event: The Future of Mixed Reality is on the Blockchain

Jan 11, 2018

Mixed Reality (MR) - the hybrid of AR and VR - merges real and virtual environments to produce beautiful and unique experiences and visualizations. It is used as an independent concept as well as to classify the spectrum of technologies often referred to as reality-virtuality continuum. MR covers all possible areas including variations and compositions of real and virtual objects.

Blockchain, the technology that enables crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin, is now disrupting every industry, so we are increasingly seeing interesting examples emerge of companies incorporating blockchain into their offering, and AR is no exception.

Program Join Lampix, the first hardware, and software solution that turns any surface into a smart augmented reality or interactive surface, for an in-depth and lively discussion on the future of MR and its implications for artists.

Lampix launched a machine learning image database on the Ethereum Blockchain and created an incentive structure for anyone in the world to populate an image database on the blockchain. Artists and creators are able to receive compensation through this distributed platform, allowing them to profit and ultimately thrive in the new economy. Adding to the conversation is a prominent MR/AR expert offering his views of this new intersection of the blockchain, and MR/AR.
