About David:
Based out of Barangaroo, Sydney, David has been at the forefront of consumer-facing + operations-critical Augmented and Virtual Realities (collectively: 'XR’) since 2011. Working with US-based XR pioneer DAQRI initially and producing a number of the very first XR campaigns for global brands, he then became the first XR-dedicated enterprise senior-manager within Australia's largest print communications group, IVE. In 2016 he co-founded Virtual Method with Carli Johnston, and is the current CEO.
Virtual Method is highly specialised-in the worlds of 3D visualisation, Digital Twin, Immersive Training, Wearable Computing and Metaverse Strategy.
David has been an invitation-keynote speaker at conferences around Australia, Europe and across Asia, and is a thought-leader on the application of XR to the enterprise.
AI is equal parts exciting and terrifying but how can it add real value to the logistics and warehousing industries?
In this session, David will introduce ‘Private AI’: an authority on your company, methods, assets and processes who captures the knowledge and experience of your best people and keeps it safe.
Private AI ingests all of your proprietary information, holds it in military-grade secure servers and makes it available to any worker, at any time, who might need information and assistance. In addition, David will show how workers are being given 'AI vision', and are successfully augmenting their productivity and skillsets with ‘superpowers’ through smart glasses.
