Software / Open Source

Software plays a key and ever expanding role in the development of products and applications across the wireless sector. Within this, open source is playing an increasingly important role by allowing the sector to concentrate on differentiating technology and by driving in innovation from outside the traditional supply chains through collaborative ecosystems. The Software & Open Source SIG considers issues across the software development life cycle from project initiation and requirements capture through to deployment, user support and community management.

The SIG is championed by:

Phillip Burr of Mentor Graphics, Andrew Savory, David Roberts of Ogma Solutions and Kevin Rolph of MediaTek.

Software/Open Source SIG ‘The Reality of Augmented Reality’

This half-day event will provide a vital opportunity to learn more about one of the most important emerging topics in the mobile device scene today; augmented reality. Representatives from the local AR community will provide an insight into AR by showcasing examples of it in use, sharing their knowledge about what this technology currently encompasses whilst assessing the challenges facing AR now and in the future. Now really is the time to learn more about this exciting technology. Confirmed speakers include Julian Harris, Developer Relations at Qualcomm, Srikanth Iyer, Ecosystem Manager (User Experience and GPU Compute) at ARM, Adrian Leu, CTO at Holition and Kevin Rolph, Software Architect at MediaTek

Augmented reality is one of the hottest topics in the mobile device scene at the moment. AR proponents believe that AR could revolutionise how we use and interact with mobile devices.  In what promises to be an interesting and informative event, presenters from different corners of the AR community will outline their view on what AR encompasses, provide examples of AR in use, look at some of the challenges facing AR developers, look at the software and hardware needed to power AR, and gaze in to their crystal balls and give their predictions of the future AR. 
 
Augmented Reality is fast becoming a reality – make sure that you are not being left behind! Early booking is strongly advised for this popular topic. Presentations will be heard from;

  • Julian Harris, Developer Relations at Qualcomm
  • Srikanth Iyer, Ecosystem Manager (User Experience and GPU Compute) at ARM
  • Adrian Leu, CTO at Holition
  • Kevin Rolph, Software Architect at MediaTek
