Microsoft, Sixense, and More Join xRS Week 2019

At xRS Week 2019, October 16-18 in San Francisco, top solution providers, investors, and enterprise users of xR technologies will share winning strategies and technology breakthroughs.

San Francisco, August 9, 2019 — As the only xR (virtual and augmented reality) conference devoted to providing C-level executive with the information they need, xRS Week will this year offer an expanded Solutions Showcase. The Solutions Showcase will enable the hundreds of business leaders attending xRS Week the opportunity to experience the technologies and solutions that will be adopted in the near future. xR technology is making its way into enterprises as diverse as healthcare, entertainment, defense, and retailing, and is valued at more than $11 billion in 2019.

Headlining the Solutions Showcase this year are industry leaders Microsoft, Accenture, HP, and Sixense. They will be joined by Varjo, Pico, Blend Media, Varwin, and other top companies. (Not all companies are confirmed at press time.)

The Solutions Showcase is both a demo center and a meeting spot, where xRS Week attendees will see the latest in head-mounted displays, development tools, and applications. The Showcase is designed to facilitate engagement with solutions providers to discuss specific challenges. As part of xRS Week’s mandate to enable high-level conversations, this is a   location where deals and relationships will be forged over coffee.

“Sixense’s mission is to provide immersive products that improve lives. xRS gives us the ability to share our strategies and beliefs while listening and learning from other decision makers,”  said Amir Rubin, CEO, Sixense. “xRS Week 2019 is an important event for us as it brings together C-level executives in an environment that fosters open sharing and discussion of the future trends that will shape our world.”
