SUMMARY:MN VR and HCI Aug 2026: PresenceLink
DESCRIPTION:MN VR and HCI monthly meeting for Aug 2026: PresenceLink co-located MR and VR presented by David Montecalvo from VirtualGo\n\n\nPresenceLink – David Montecalvo VirtualGo \nVirtualGo is developing PresenceLink\, a system that connects mixed reality and virtual reality players within the same real-world environment. Local players can share a physical space through MR co-location\, while remote VR players can navigate a scanned representation of that same room and its furniture. \nI’ll share the journey behind VirtualGo and our Quest titles Hauntify\, FPS Enhanced Reality\, and MissionRift\, along with how our work in continuous scene meshing and spatial scanning led to PresenceLink. I’ll also cover our expansion into location-based entertainment\, lessons from exhibiting at Augmented World Expo\, and some of our experiments with outdoor and large-scale mixed reality. \n \nSchedule: \n\n6:30 Social and setup\n7:00 Kickoff / announcements\n7:15 David\n~8:45 Tear-down\, cross the sidewalk to Yardhouse\n\n \nAttending and Parking: \nThis event will be in person at the REM5 STUDIOS new office in West End and the presentation will be streamed live at https://www.youtube.com/igdatc \nPark underground and take the central red elevator to ground level\, then cross the sidewalk.
