eXtended Reality
Miguel Arias, Founder and CEO of Prefixa gave us a very visual look into the future. His work is making it easier for non-technical people to create and use 3D imaging to share and market sculpture. Imagine a 3D gallery where your sculptures can be viewed virtually in the round. Or, an AR (augmented reality) model that displays your sculpture in the viewer’s actual environment. This technology exists today.
