At Improbable, we believe that simulations as large and complex as the real world are the next fundamental breakthrough technology. Like in the real world, objects in these simulations will change in response to their environment, and their interactions will combine to form massive, complex systems. We are building the platform to make these simulations possible. New worlds for gaming and entertainment can now be created using our product, SpatialOS. Our technology creates permanent, persistent and engaging experiences: worlds where your actions really matter. The same technology that makes imaginary worlds feel real can also illuminate complex systems at work in reality. We use insight acquired through simulation to solve real world problems. You can find out more about our technology on our website - improbable.io

Avalon Holographics is developing a ground-breaking screen technology that will (finally) revolutionize the way that people view and produce visual content. From cave drawings to motion pictures, nearly all of humanity’s attempts to recreate visual experiences have been a 2D compromise; even the most advanced mainstream 3D technologies have been forced to trick the brain and eyes into seeing 2D images and interpreting them as 3D, with serious consequences such as eye fatigue, nausea, and headaches. Avalon displays create a discrete light field that replicates the experience of looking at real objects, to produce an incredibly lifelike and comfortable experience, without headsets or glasses.
