AREA Research Webinar | Adaptive AR Guidance and Bichronous XR for Next-Gen Training

Join us for this engaging webinar, “Adaptive AR Guidance and Bichronous XR for Next-Gen Training” hosted by AREA (Augmented Reality for Enterprise Alliance), an EDM Association Community, on February 11th, 2026.

Presenters Bowen Yuan and Hyunwoo Cho, (PhD candidates) and Mark Billinghurst (Director, Australian Research Centre for Interactive and Virtual Environments (IVE)) will showcase a unified research program on next-generation Augmented Reality (AR) task guidance, focusing on adaptive instruction, spatial task segmentation, and hierarchical non-linear workflows. Built on three core systems—focus-aware AR playback, location-based task segmentation, and a dependency-aware guidance framework—the talk shows how AR can sense user attention, interpret task context, and dynamically adapt instructions. Empirical results from controlled studies reveal how gaze and location cues reduce errors, speed attention recovery, and improve review efficiency in multi-location tasks, pointing to scalable, intelligent AR training for real-world environments.

The session also introduces the Bichronous XR Collaboration Framework, which combines asynchronous task review with synchronous real-time correction. Using 3D Action Cues—event-driven spatio-temporal bookmarks—remote experts can quickly spot errors in recorded actions and move into live sessions for targeted support. Study results show this approach cuts task time and cognitive load compared to traditional 2D video.

Attendees will learn:

  • How gaze and location tracking enable adaptive AR task guidance
  • How spatial behavior supports non-linear playback and faster retrieval
  • How dependency-aware workflow models support complex procedures
  • Design principles for deploying adaptive AR in industrial training
  • How bichronous workflows and 3D Action Cues improve remote assistance

AREA Webinar | Reinventing AR User Experience: A Conversation with Amalgamated Vision

Join us for this engaging webinar, “Reinventing AR User Experience: A Conversation with Amalgamated Vision” hosted by AREA (Augmented Reality for Enterprise Alliance), an EDM Association Community, on January 28th, 2026.

Adam Davis, Founder and CEO of Amalgamated Vision (AV), will present AV’s groundbreaking AR display technology. AV’s approach uses monocular ultra-near-to-eye positioning and a novel optical design that delivers digital content naturally without waveguides or other structural elements that obscure normal vision.

AV’s patented microprojector enables all-day wearable contextual AI at the edge, providing users with critical information exactly when and where it’s needed. The U.S. Air Force and NASA are funding early-stage development to explore applications such as aircraft maintenance and remote medical guidance—environments where dense data and continuous situational awareness are essential. The compact monocular display meets these demands while fitting discreetly behind standard eyewear lenses, paving the way for practical, everyday AR headsets.

A central concept is binocular rivalry, the brain’s ability to blend a monocular digital overlay with the real world. AV’s hardware leverages this physiological phenomenon to reduce cognitive load and minimize the social friction of conventional waveguide smart glasses.

This session is essential for business and technology leaders exploring:

  • How ultra-near-to-eye display differs from waveguide and birdbath systems.
  • The visual processes that enhance comfort and focus for extended use.
  • Why non-occluding optics matter for frontline operations.
  • The advantages of lightweight, low-power engines for AI-at-the-edge applications.
  • What USAF and NASA funding reveals about future AR deployment paths.

From Experimental to Enterprise: How Semantic Layers Make AI Trustworthy

Large Language Models promise to transform analytics, yet enterprises consistently encounter hallucinations, inconsistent responses, and outputs they can’t trust for strategic decisions. The fundamental issue isn’t the AI – it’s the missing context layer that provides governed metrics and business logic.

A semantic layer solves this by codifying domain knowledge and enabling full traceability. When AI systems access the same governed logic that powers trusted BI, they become consistent, explainable, and enterprise-ready. In this webinar you will learn:

  • Why AI systems fail without proper context and governance
  • How semantic layers create trustworthy, traceable AI outputs
  • Integrating semantic layers with data governance frameworks
  • Steps to operationalize AI that’s reliable and scalable across enterprise use cases

AI Needs Data Products (and Data Products Need AI)

This webinar will examine the pivotal role of data products in fueling the AI revolution. We’ll explore how AI not only powers the creation and consumption of data products, but also relies on robust metadata to ensure trust and reliability. The discussion will highlight the use of Generative AI to automate data product development, along with essential techniques for safeguarding design integrity. We’ll also cover how natural language interfaces are transforming the way organizations interact with data products, concluding with a case study presented by the Chief AI & Data Officer of digital-first, India-based financial innovator L&T.
