Talk Title: The industrial Metaverse – supercharging industrial efficiencies towards sustainability
Abstract: The industrial Metaverse is key element allowing industrial companies to leapfrog their competitiveness while ensuring sustainability and great access to tech. Many of the building blocks required for its realization are in existence already today but are not consistently leveraged. A handful of examples shows how much innovation can be already triggered this way while companies embracing this realize a competitive advantage. Industrial Metaverse is not a single solution but rather a digitalization journey. To support this, Siemens has started the Siemens Xcelerator open business platform, allowing an ecosystem of capabilities to work together, while helping companies to accelerate their digital transformation towards the industrial metaverse era. The user centric approach of the industrial metaverse also lowers the entry barriers for non-experts allowing more stakeholders to engage in the decision processes leading to better and faster engineering decisions. Customer interviews suggest the validity of this approach and that many companies want to embrace the industrial metaverse to stay competitive. The success of of the industrial metaverse, however, will benefit from more standardization to connect the existing logical islands across the complete ecosystem of providers.

Talk Title: We need a Super Cockpit for the Mind
Abstract: In addition to providing an update on the work of the Virtual World Society, Dr. Furness will recount some of his history in developing the Super Cockpit for the USAF in the 70s-80s. He will then convolve that with the current direction of the metaverse and AI communities to propose a new cockpit that this now needed to navigate our future in the metaverse: the Super Cockpit for the Mind.

Talk Title: Challenges of Metaverse Silicon Health
Abstract: The metaverse is envisioned as a shared digital world that integrates artificial intelligence, edge computing and 5G networks to allow interoperability between virtual environments and the use of AI. Due to these demanding requirements, metaverse is leading to an explosion in the adoption of emerging silicon technology nodes and 3D packages. This keynote will discuss the lifetime challenges for these emerging technologies needed by metaverse, and how to optimize silicon health using prognostics, analytic solutions, utilized for improving quality and yield; and also address aging and degradation challenges for improved RAS, security and functional safety.
