Data as Experience

We live our lives as data hunters and gatherers, surrounded with a swarming chaos of input informing our every decision from dentistry to nation building. But how much of this given information can we absorb or even pay attention to? Data visualization attempts to represent the changing whirl of factoids, but in itself overpowers our attention span and confuses the decision maker. Applying narrative holography to the data problem allows us to experience information as never before – as three-dimensional experience in space open to discovery and exploration. For organizations transforming to a data-driven strategy, Paul Duffy reveals the limitless potential of dimensionality within data, unlocked through a series of interactive holographic episodes. This keynote pushes the envelope beyond mere data visualization, into the next medium of real space.

  • The overwhelming nature of data generation for decision makers
  • Beyond visualization into the tangible world of holography
  • Narrative science as the key to transforming noise into signal
  • Experiential data across technology, financial and professional arenas

Spatial Realm or Metaverse?

Evolving out of the gaming world, the Metaverse has attracted worldwide attention, investment and its own share of controversy. The Spatial Realm, on the other hand, is a nascent potential which is yet to exercise its magic in the public consciousness. Merging AR and AI, the Spatial Realm can be considered the opposite of the Metaverse – not going beyond this world but renewing and refreshing real space through holographic habitats and narrative episodes. If the Metaverse is a virtual world too far away from real-world concerns, is the Spatial Realm the bridge to solving complex problems from human presence and product returns to local footfall and data-driven decision making? This keynote contrasts two grand strategies currently in play and explores the gaps between merely digital and cyber-physical fusion – gaming and activating.

  • Are you looking beyond the planet or reinventing this world?
  • Spatial as the new mass medium evolving out of mobile
  • Augmenting local space for people, products, places and data
  • Enriching the real universe through holographic storytelling
