Our Plans for Microsoft Build 2017

We have amazing plans for Microsoft Build 2017: From mini-sessions on what it takes to be a part of the mixed reality revolution to the unveiling of a new HoloLens experience to a fantastic party where music meets mixed reality. Find our schedule and learn about what Valorem has planned for Build attendees.

Have you ever wondered what a real-life scenario could look like for a Microsoft HoloLens device? If you’re coming to Microsoft Build in Seattle this week, be sure to come by the Valorem booth (HUB space, Exhibit Hall 4AB, Aquarium #5) to experience it firsthand. Valorem will be presenting a brand-new HoloLens experience called the Tire Explorer, which was developed in partnership with Bridgestone.

UNVEILING A NEW HOLOLENS EXPERIENCE

The Tire Explorer features new, never-before-seen technology such as:

• High-end product visualization #ShaderArt 
• Real-world object tracking #NoFiducialMarkers 
• HoloBeam full HD holographic narration #HoloBeamHighRes 

In anticipation of the large number of attendees who will want to see this live demo, we will also be streaming this new experience on monitors at our booth using Microsoft’s spectator view.

THE MIXED REALITY REVOLUTION: CHECK OUT OUR SESSIONS

As one of the first teams to ever create experiences for HoloLens devices in partnership with Microsoft, Valorem will also feature “lessons learned” talks at our booth (HUB space, Exhibit Hall 4AB, Aquarium #5), where we will share some of our experiences in short, 10-15 minute sessions on Being a Part of the Mixed Reality Revolution. These mini-sessions will provide you with helpful information on what it takes to create applications for the HoloLens device from a development, design, and business perspective.
