Any comments for potential users of AR & VR?
“AR & VR is still very new. It will take a couple of years more to mature, but that doesn’t mean that we can stop trying. It is very important for anyone using AR, VR & MR to stay focussed and believe in this revolution and not give up since it is still not mature”.
Steven Woolley, Chief Technology Officer, Mahindra Electric Mobility Ltd.
Did you find good VR-AR technology providers you could use?
“I believe meeting a number of very interesting people like technology providers, they have now heard my views as a user aspect. There are many people who have said that they can actually help me in what we want to achieve in that particular technology sphere”.
What are your views about the event?
I think it’s very nice to see a lot of people from different areas of the industry. I am amazed to see that many people are using Virtual Reality and that many people are now actually developing new platforms and new solutions to implement in this area.
How did the event go for you?
It was very informative. It is nice to see a number of people coming together all have the same use of language i.e. VR and I believe that the use of the technology is very well presented here.
Sridhar Sunkad, Managing director, Eon Reality
How was the show for you?
Focussed events have put together a very good event by bringing in not only the thought leaders but also a very good participative audience. I really see that it came out really well.
Do you think that the event aligns with your company’s objectives?
For eon reality we are all in the mission of knowledge transfer and when I see the type of participation and also the audience interest I think it was a very good crowd so that our message could be spread across and also for the thought leaders they were able to understand the depth and the value eon can bring into the education and enterprise engagements.
Hardhyan Singh Sohal, Technical Sales Manager, PTC
Did the event go well for you?
It’s an excellent event. I think it is the first time that such kind of an event happened in India and it is very focused on VR&AR technologies. Only those people who are concerned with the AR& VR came so we got good access to those audiences or customers. They are representing almost all of the major organization across India. We got a good opportunity to discuss in detail with the senior executives and the panel discussion was excellent. It gave the broader perspective that how these technologies can fulfill their requirements.
Were you able to interact with the right profile of customers?
Yes, we got to interact with the right audience and prospective customers. I see most of the people are very concerned about the event who came here and spent their full day to understand the technology. We have interacted with most of the people who came here from the different domains and our competition was also there and they look forward to getting associated with PTC. In our booth, we have showcased our best technologies in terms of AR and IoT and both work complement each other and provide benefits to the customer.
Should there be more AR- VR events like this?
Yes, it is required. I want such kinds of events to be happening more frequently and I want it to happen in Pune itself because a lot of customers want to attend. This was the first time this event happened and a lot of people were not having the thought process to understand that what they are going to cover. So now they will get a fresh thought process with a broader vision to start thinking differently towards the AR_VR technology.
Sheetalchandra Hukkeri, Technical Advisor, and conference planning Chairman, Focussed Events.
What is your experience working with Focussed Events?
“It has been an exciting day today. In fact, it was a dream come true in 32 years of my experience. I wanted to bring in an event which gets all the industrial design and manufacturing guys together. I think we have achieved that considerably well as I see more than 25 speakers and 15 exhibitors and each of them are going back with a feeling that it was a great event and we have to have something like this again. Hence the natural conclusion is that we need to strengthen our act together and ensure that we maintain continuity with the forum that exists where people can interact and move on the next event, which is going to be in the year. We promise for a bigger event with maybe some of the hitches we got this time we will be able to correct it and make it much more fruitful for all”.
