What we’re about
We are here to advance the augmented reality industry in Chicago by connecting and empowering its community.
AWE Nite Chicago is a place for developers, creators, investors, founders, corporate decision makers and curious folk to come together to celebrate the activity and devote conviction around building an augmented reality (AR) hub in Chicago.
AWE Nite Chicago is part of AWE, the world's #1 XR event series, which has a reach of over 250,000 professionals all dedicated to the adoption and growth of augmented reality as the next wave of computing. AWE produces conferences dedicated to XR (AR/VR/MR) in the USA, Europe, Asia and Tel Aviv and hosts AWE Nite Meetup events in Toronto, San Francisco, Chicago and New York.

About the Topic:
Imagine the power of spatial computing in manufacturing such as stepping onto the factory floor without leaving your seat. Our expert panel will delve into real-world applications that are reshaping the industry. Picture engineers collaborating on a digital twin, a virtual replica of a production line, fine-tuning processes before a single machine is engaged. With immersive technologies like augmented reality, assembly workers receive step-by-step guidance overlaying their workspace, ensuring precision and efficiency.Spatial computing is the catalyst for innovation in most industries, especially fields like manufacturing. Design teams dispersed across the globe can come together in a shared virtual space, shaping the next groundbreaking product. Augmented reality can assist technicians in real-time maintenance, reducing downtime and optimizing machinery performance. Prototypes can be perfected in a virtual environment before the first physical model is even crafted. AR and VR simulations offer a risk-free environment for learning complex tasks. Ranging from collaborative design to supply chain visualization, our program illuminates how spatial computing is reshaping manufacturing, making it more efficient, safer, and poised for the challenges of tomorrow.
Join us May 1st to explore how immersive technologies are revolutionizing training, maintenance, and quality control in ways that were once only imagined, now a tangible reality on the manufacturing floor.
What's The Format:
We will start with informal networking with demonstrations, then host a panel discussion to answer audience questions, and we end with more networking and demonstrations. We keep it simple and informal – this meetup is about you, our members, and not just a soap box for the host, presenters, or our sponsors. Come and get your questions answered, take your next step in Immersive Technology.
