What happens when you look down towards yourself or in a virtual mirror? If it has been so programmed you will see a life-sized virtual body replacing your own. You are likely then to have the perceptual illusion that the virtual body is yours, even though you know for sure that it is not. This is referred to as a body ownership illusion. Here I will describe this perceptual illusion, and give examples of how this has been used to address a number personal and social issues. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2910f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"f2910f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2541\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2541\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">More<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2541\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2541\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mel Slater is a Distinguished Investigator at the University of Barcelona, and co-Director of the Event Lab (Experimental Virtual Environments for Neuroscience and Technology).

In 2012, her piece \u201cHunger in Los Angeles\u201d debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, marking it&#8217;s place in history as the first VR experience to be shown at the festival, and since then her work has continued to elicit global recognition at institutions and events such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, Brooklyn Museum, World Economic Forum and Venice International Film Festival. In 2017, Nonny was named one of CNET\u2019s 20 Most Influential Latinos in Tech and most recently she received the 2018 WSJ Magazine Technology Innovator of the Year award. Under her leadership, Emblematic has built a critically acclaimed body of work that includes tracking the chaos of the Syrian civil war to working with AT&amp;T on projects that leverage the future of 5G technologies and machine learning. Her newest breakthrough is Emblematic&#8217;s WebVR platform REACH which creates scalable distribution in the medium, democratizes content authorship and empowers new voices to share their

its first major foray into the mainstream through Pokemon Go &#8211; a phenomenon that gave people all around the world a glimpse into what it&#8217;s like to integrate a digital reality with the physical world.\u00a0 Over the past 4 years since that launch, Augmented Reality has made inroads in other ways beyond entertainment and into the workforce across industries, and leapt from the mobile phone onto convenient head-worn devices. \u00a0 More profoundly, advanced developments in Artificial Intelligence have given AR a whole new set of powers that will transform how we work, live and play. For example, combining visual data, with voice recognition and predictive analytics based on context and environment, means that if Pokemon Go were launched today &#8211; you&#8217;d be able to have a conversation with him, and have a hands-free experience that is more personal and immersive than ever before.\u00a0 We&#8217;ll explore this and other scenarios where the powerful combination of AR + AI will impact our lives in 2020 and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0a3183 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"c0a3183\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2011\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2011\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">More<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2011\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2011\"><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rika is a seasoned global executive, pushing business development at the intersection of the human, the digital, and the physical through innovative experiences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A frequent conference speaker, Rika is a technology strategy and marketing consultant, serving as interim Chief Strategy Officer at Tokyo-based AI Startup called Ascent Robotics, and is also the CEO of BoardSeatMeet, Inc. a Silicon Valley venture focusing on gender-balancing corporate board rooms by empowering women to build and leverage social capital with modern technology.\u00a0 Born in Japan to a German mother and Japanese father, and trilingual in Japanese, German and English, Rika came to the U.S to attend Princeton University.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rika has since worked internationally over two decades in senior executive roles in strategy, business development, and marketing with Fortune 500 companies (NVIDIA, Sony, Accenture, American Express) and disruptive technology startups.
