Title: Hyperscale Spatial Computing: Implications of Inverting the Bandwidth Funnel

Abstract: Recent advances in compute pipelines have enabled leaps in body-centered technology such as Ray-Traced Virtual Reality. Simultaneously, network bottlenecks have decreased to the point that streaming pixels directly from datacenters to HMDs is a reality. This talk explores the potential of body-centered computing at datacenter scales - what applications, experiences and new science it enables.
