Welcome to the Inaugural Mixed/Augmented/Virtual Reality Conference!

We are so pleased that you have joined us and would like to take this op-
portunity to thank you for your support of AR/VR/MR in the Mid-Atlantic
region. Without the fantastic work that you and your peers in the region
are doing, there would be no reason for the conference, so thank you! We
hope that you will find the sessions interesting, the demos fascinating, and
the connections you make invaluable.

We have two fantastic days of talks planned in the Ballrooms, and some
great demos available in Rever Hall of Fame. The Speaker/Work room is
on the opposite side of the rotunda, and all are welcome to use it when you
need to check email, charge your devices, or find a quiet area to talk. The
wifi passwords are available from the reception desk. We have two coffee
breaks scheduled each day, as well as lunch in Room B, and we hope you
will stay for the reception at the end of the first day. The first hour’s drinks
are on us!

I’d like to thank our Speakers, Advisors, and Sponsors, without whom none
Sponsors of this would be possible!
