	Emre Deniz, Founder/Director, Opaque Space

10:00	How AR/VR in Improves Hazardous Safety & Emergency Response With Immersive Training
	With AR/VR, major fire and accident events can be realistically simulated in individual or group training scenarios, which have been shown to stimulate rapid learning. Site and task familiarisation training can be carried out in VR prior to mobilising personnel to sites. How to use VR to improve bushfire response – particularly looking at the decision to stay and defend or leave early in a bushfire event. Trainees wear stress bands while they are immersed in the scenario and look at which triggers are most important in their decision making.

15:00	How AR/VR can assist maintenance teams in the mining sector with Condition Based Strategies?
	Condition Based Maintenance is one of the modern and advanced strategies that can assist with predicting equipment failures on-time and reduce unnecessary maintenance downtimes and costs. Condition Based Maintenance highly relies on accurate and reliable condition monitoring techniques; however, there are limited access to all areas to take condition monitoring readings. AR/VR technologies can assist with pushing out these boundaries and help maintenance team to take readings from inaccessible areas with high safety risks. This includes but not limited to: Wear Liner thickness measurement by help of Ultra Sound Crawler device 3D Laser Scanning inside Bins Visual Inspection inside Chutes Visual inspection inside confined spaces Structural Inspection by help of Drones Pipe Scanning by help of Endoscope Inspection Camera Eliminating Confined Space entry as well as Work at Heights are great achievements that will improve safety aspects at mine sites. In addition, using AR/VR Technology will bring massive cost and time saving for maintenance team.

09:35	Virtual and Augmented Reality in Streamlining Panel Discussion: Manufacturing Production, Operations and Process
	Megatrends are impacting the industry, forcing a major shift in competency management. Plants needs to transfer and retain knowledge, adapt to the new workforce behaviors and manage the skills gap while still performing at peak level. This session will help you understand the programs and immersive technology that Honeywell uses to assist sites to maintain the skills necessary to run today’s plants, which includes Immersive Competency programs to prepare staff in a safe environment and Intelligent Wearables solutions for in-field hands-free workflow and knowledge transfer.
	Annemarie Diepenbroek, Marketing Manager, Honeywell

10:00	How University of Newcastle Builds Virtual Reality (VR) Experiences For Students to Save Babies’ Lives?
	Studies showed that students remember only 20% of what they hear and 30% of what they see, but up to 90% of what they personally experience. Immersive learning through VR can significantly improve student retention and attention gap. To create immersive learning experiences, Google has recently introduced Google Expeditions which allows teachers and students to take ‘immersive virtual journeys,’ such as exploring coral reefs or the surface of Mars in an afternoon. At University of Newcastle, virtual reality will be used to teach midwifery students how to resuscitate babies at birth. The University says it has developed VR/AR programs covering anatomy and birthing techniques. It simulates a real-world delivery room, providing midwifery students with a virtual emergency neonatal resuscitation scheme. New graduates often find transitioning from performing a neonatal resuscitation in an educational setting to a real-world emergency room an overwhelming shift and this program helps to them overcome the pressure in time-critical, emergency environment.
