Description

In this session, IKEA will present the challenges of a retailer taking their first steps into virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). We'll look at how high-quality, photographic, computer graphic renderings are created for IKEA's printed and online productions in large volumes, and comprise the base for the VR/AR/MR efforts. And we'll even learn how meatballs fit into the equation. Get to know what kinds of challenges the firm currently faces, and where it's going in the next 10-15 years. You'll get a close-up look at how IKEA is embracing the future of VR/AR/MR with open arms, with the creation of IKEA Digital Lab-a space to experiment, innovate, and build on these technologies.

Speaker

  • Martin Enthed
    After having worked for 10 years at IKEA, I have recently been appointed Managing Director for the newly established IKEA Digital Lab, aiming at identifying, investigating and evaluating new technologies specified towards the needs of IKEA and its customers. My new responsibility is added on to my role as Development & Operation IT manager at IKEA Communications, the IKEA in house agency for communication.Before joining IKEA, I worked over 20 years as an independent consultant, focusing design support. This entailed computerized support, including animation, to various design-undertakings, be it the car-industry, bio-medical research, jewellery, or home-furnishing design. I did have IKEA as a frequent client of mine during my years as a consultant, assisting them in development of virtual prototypes. And now, I have the privilege to further explore and experience the very latest in digital development in an open and curious environment, encouraging innovation and new thinking.
