June enterprise learning conference to feature virtual reality

MARICOPA, AZ– Elearning! Media Group, producers of the Enterprise Learning! Conference 2016 (ELC16), the leader in learning and workplace technology media, is pleased to announce its groundbreaking Keynote Speaker for the conference. Anders Gronstedt, Ph.D., President, The Gronstedt Group, Inc. will deliver his Keynote Address: “Next Gen Learning: The Virtual Reality Experience” This keynote is more than talking heads, this session will immerse attendees into the virtual reality experience.

If you believe Facebook’s Mark Zuckerburg, virtual reality is the next major computing platform after the smart phone. A new generation of virtual reality headsets and software promises to revolutionize learning. It’s bringing immersion to new levels — the feeling of actually being in another place. “It’s like the difference between looking out through a window and actually walking out and moving around in the world,” said Gronstedt.

“We are honored to have a leader in virtual reality learning not only reveal the future of virtual technology, but take us into the immersive virtual reality experience as well,” said Catherine Upton, ELC 2016 conference chair.

At ELC 16, attendees will experience live virtual reality learning via Oculus Rift and their own personal Google Cardboard. Anders will demonstrate the training implications of Virtual Reality in learning. He will showcase a high end learning experience via Oculus Rift and take us on a tour of the virtual realm. Then, each attendee will experience 360 degree applications, as well as open-source learning content and apps via Google Cardboard Viewers. From high end customized learning, to low cost open-source resources, attendees will experience Virtual Reality like never before. The user experience of VR is far more visceral than anything experienced on a screen.

Gronstedt will also be exploring the augmented reality technology which is on the heels of virtual reality. It is the lens to the world that that superimposes digital graphics over the world around you.
