Day One of ARE2012 in Santa Clara is now complete.
It's been a full day. My personal highlight was participating in the panel discussion "“Augmented Reality & Its Challenges in the Civil & Criminal Justice System" with best-selling author Daniel Suarez, cybercrime investigator Captain Joseph Rampolla, Cybercop Portal founder Kevin Manson, Daqri CEO Brian Mullins, and IRS virtual worlds investigator David Griesbach. The discussion was lively, and the audience's keen questions made for some engaging interaction.
But ours was just one of a full roster of presentations that captured the momentum, innovation, and ideas that are fueling the AR industry worldwide. I'll let others summarize. The following is a collection of tweets (and some slides) from those in attendance today.
