Eirmersive members take the stage at Augmented World Expo
Augmented World Expo (AWE) makes a credible claim to be the world's largest Immersive Technologies / Spatial Computing event, and thus has has long been a key date on the calendar of many Eirmersive members. Getting to present at such a prestigious conference requires submission of a compelling proposal that goes through a rigorous selection process. So it’s quite the reflection of Ireland’s standing in this global industry that not one but two of our members got to speak at AWE USA 2025 in Long Beach, California.
Dr. Sandhya Santhosh, is a Senior Research Scientist at Collins Aerospace, who actually participated on two panel discussions -
Panel 1: How Spatial Computing is Reshaping Heavy Manufacturing
“A deep dive into the power of digital twins, XR for global collaboration, and Human-Machine teaming. It was an enriching exchange with Alex Goldberg, Sr. Technical Product Manager from Blue Origin, Derek Dreier, Software engineer from Boeing and expertly moderated by Lynn Welch, Chief Growth officer at Lucid Reality Labs. Truly a powerhouse of insights on how immersive tech is redefining the future of industry”, said Sandhya.
Panel 2: How Wearables Help Reach Physical AI
“A vital and timely conversation exploring the edge of human-machine integration with industry leaders- Johannes Peeters - CEO of VoxelSensors , Mike Stefanick - Sr.Director, product management at Qualcomm , Irena Cronin - CEO of Infinite Retina & Bharath Rajagopalan - Director of strategic marketing at STMicroelectronics “

Michael Guerin is Founder and CEO at Imvizar. At AWE he spoke about “Unlocking Locations with Spatial Storytelling” and demo’d how accessible this is on Imvizar’s no-code AR storytelling tool, Lureo.
“Although it’s called Augmented World Expo, in previous years I’ve been surprised by how little AR there was, but this year was different. Big hardware announcements from Qualcomm Snapdragon, Snap AR, Android XR, XREAL and others show we’re getting much closer to real, viable AR”, Michael noted.
In the same week, Imvizar took part in the Snap AR x Reality Hack at MIT and did fantastically well to come 2nd so our congratulations to them on that.
All in all, a tremendous week for Eirmersive members on the world stage!
