SUMMARY:The Rise and Rise Of AR and VR Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Despite AR and VR technologies being the “next big thing” for quite a while now\, often the practical applications and uses are limited\, whether due to bulky and costly equipment\, less-than-progressive-attitudes or other considerations. \nThis event\, organised with the Design\, Simulation and Modelling Special Interest Group explores the practical uses of AR/VR and other visualisation technologies. \nHow can these technologies make the difference in your business? Are the potential gains in efficiency and accuracy worth the investment? How far away are we from these technologies allowing us to make a quantum leap forward? \nJoin us to hear from experts in the field and people who use these kinds of technologies and see the difference it can make. \nOne of the speakers is Rob Rowsell from Wirth Research who will detail the work they did on their 2008 LMP1 car where they used VR to get the initial designs right\, live imaging overlays during production and AR technology to work with the team and improve their servicing efficiency. \nMore speakers will be announced soon\, but book today to ensure you don’t miss out as places are limited. \nThis event is kindly supported by Silverstone Park\, and is being held at Vulcan Works\, Northampton. \nTickets are available HERE.

SUMMARY:The Vulcan Sessions - 7: Product Management and Design Essentials
DESCRIPTION:Navigating the startup journey in project management\nIn this session\, David Sikharulidze from Mavis Tech will share his experiences in product development as they work on innovative smart glasses designed for visually impaired and blind individuals. \nDavid will illustrate how they transformed a single idea into the creation of almost ten prototypes before finalising their product. This journey\, though intensive in research and development\, taught Mavis Tech invaluable lessons. \nBy learning from their mistakes\, you might save time and resources when developing physical products. David is now on the brink of releasing their smart glasses for visually impaired and blind to the market and are set to begin internal manufacturing. Their insights will be beneficial for any company or startup involved in creating or aspiring to create an electronic product. \nMavis Technologies was established in August 2023\, following the completion of David’s master’s degree at the University of Northampton. Motivated by personal experience as a visually impaired individual\, David recognised the challenges faced by those with visual impairments and sought to create a company dedicated to developing assistive gadgets and smart glasses for the visually impaired and blind community. \nDrawing inspiration from the concept of empowerment and independence\, the idea for Mavis was born\, with a name derived from Magic and Vision\, symbolising their belief in creating solutions that empower individuals with low or no vision.

While AI agents may not live up to all the hype\, they are genuinely transforming how quickly we can build and deploy software. In this talk\, I’ll demonstrate how to turn an idea into a working product in hours\, outline a practical process to follow\, highlight common pitfalls\, and discuss the limitations. Whether you’re a technical founder or simply have an idea\, this session will show you how AI agents can help you build faster. \n\n\n\n19:00 – 19:15\nBreak\n\n\n19:15 – 19:45\n“Dark Side of the Moon” by Rehan Butt \nDevelopers often see the world of tech through the lens of code\, frameworks\, and innovation. But beyond the Git commits and pull requests lies a business reality that many don’t see—or worse\, choose to ignore. “Dark Side of the Moon” is a candid look at what it truly takes to work in and run a tech business. Many developers assume that technical prowess alone guarantees success\, but the hidden pitfalls of the industry tell a different story. From financial mismanagement and poor client relationships to the dangers of unchecked ego\, this talk will expose the common mistakes that can derail careers and businesses alike. Whether you’re a junior developer\, a freelancer\, or an experienced coder considering your own venture\, this session will arm you with hard-earned lessons from two decades in the trenches. You’ll walk away with insights into how to navigate company politics\, build sustainable client relationships\, and avoid becoming the biggest obstacle to your own success.
