Join us Thursday, October 8th for a webinar featuring Forest Gibson and Jared Cheshier of Pluto as they lead a discussion about the development of XR Multi-Apps and how they have the power to change the face of XR as we know it.
Join us as we discuss:
Technology empowering multi-apps
New design pattern requirements
How this approach can provide an alternative to siloed applications and walled gardens
Opportunities for developers and designers to get involved today
Full Event Description
At the beginning of consumer adoption of personal computers, it was only possible to run a single application at a time. When you wanted to switch to a different task, you’d have to close the application you were running and open the new one. This was the world of DOS (Disk Operating System). It wasn’t until the GUI was invented (Graphical User Interface) that users could launch multiple different application windows at the same time. We take this for granted now, with the number of applications and browser tabs we have open at any given time on our PCs.
We are seeing a similar trend with the progression of XR technology today. At first, we could only manage to run a single application at a time. Part of this was the performance of the computers in rendering the content and the other aspect was the design patterns around what it even meant to run more than one XR application at a time. There are new developments landing that are changing this, allowing for developers to create XR applications that run together in a new open computing ecosystem.
