******************* Original Post

I am excited to announce the following presenters and demos for the upcoming NYVR event.

Nick Landry Sr. Technical Evangelist, Microsoft

Nick Landry (@ActiveNick) is a mobility pioneer, former entrepreneur and Microsoft Technical specializing in cross-platform mobile app development. Known for his dynamic and engaging style, he is a frequent speaker at major software development conferences worldwide, and was a 10-year Microsoft MVP awarded on Mobile Development. With 25 years of professional experience, Nick is a certified developer and software architect by trade and specializes in Cross-Platform Mobility, Computer Speech & Bots, IoT, Cloud, HoloLens and Mobile Game Development. He is an active blogger, occasional author, avid gamer, loving husband and proud father.

Microsoft HoloLens is the worlds first self-contained, untethered head-mounted holographic computing device for Mixed Reality (MR). Mixed Reality blends 3D holographic content into your physical world, giving your holograms real-world context and scale, allowing you to interact with both digital content and the world around you. HoloLens lets you go beyond the screen, with Holograms that let you visualize and work with your digital content in relation to your real world, unlocking new insights and capabilities. Nick will provide a quick overview of HoloLens, show some innovative demos, talk about the capabilities and discuss the latest news in Windows Holographic.

Mo Ben Co-founder and CTO of the Body VR.

The Body VR is a revolutionary approach to telling the stories of the most exciting machine on the planet: the human body. It replaces current, traditional approaches of visualization that are two-dimensional and static, and lack the ability of the user to connect with and retain vital knowledge. Through virtual reality, The Body VR will inspire medical students and doctors to learn, challenge, and improve their interpretation of medical data - for superior diagnoses and recommended courses of action.

Specifically, The Body VR will transform flat MRI scans, textbook diagrams, and animations into engaging, uniquely interactive VR experiences. The Body VRs proprietary approach has vast implications for improvements in education; training; the management of electronic medical records; and ultimately, the delivery of more coordinated, integrated health care.

The Glimpse Group Rift/Touch and Vive Demos

The Glimpse Group is again sponsoring both HTC Vive and Oculus Rift (with Touch!) demos at the upcoming event. I will have a signup sheet upon arrival and will block time in 5 minute intervals in order to get as many people thru the demos as possible.
