Deepa Mann-Kler is a ground breaking innovator working in new and emerging technology and CEO of Neon. She has pioneered significant innovations in health, wellbeing and parenting. Deepa is also a visual artist specialising in neon and visual installations. For the event, she will discuss recent Extended Reality (XR) projects, including:
BreatheVR an immersive experience that helps pain sufferers decrease their pain levels. Using a phone and Virtual Reality headset, users look at a beautiful 360-degree garden with floating leaves and islands. The leaves ascend and descend as you breathe deeply. The repeating sequence encourages the user to get into a pattern of diaphragmatic breathing.
Talking Sense an Augmented Reality conversation training tool that uses artificial intelligence technology to enable dynamic machine learning conversation processes with the aim of supporting parents to better understand the behaviour of their children with autism and better enable coping strategies and appropriate interventions.
