The design world is in the midst of a paradigm shift. With Augmented Reality (AR), traditional limitations are dissolving, giving way to a new era of immersive design at scale in true three-dimensional space. In this keynote, attendees learned how AR is empowering spatial designers to better design and share their visions with colleagues and clients in profound and compelling ways. 
We explored how this technology is integrated into the design process and facilitates enhanced collaboration, real-time prototyping, and immersive large-scale presentations. Our panel shared insights and opportunities from this experience—showcasing transformative approaches to teamwork and client engagement that can be applied across the industry.
Whether you’re an experienced professional or new to the field, this event aimed to inform and inspire—exploring the transformative potential for architecture, interior design, and everything in between. Attendees learned about the extraordinary capabilities that AR is unlocking for designers and discovered how we can harness these abilities to elevate our own design practices. Demonstrations were available to attendees immediately after the talk.
