A partial list of participating demos:  

 

         

Apollo AiRobotic is an Orange County based Unmanned Systems company. We are debuting a cool & fun project - Surf meets iOT

 

The AXIOM’s fully enclosed print chamber provides a thermally stable environment which minimizes the incidence of warpage while providing optimal print quality, especially when applied to very large 3D prints. The 1000 in³ build volume allows for very large 3D prints making it the ideal desktop solution for rapid prototyping and manufacturing functional products. The AXIOM automatically calibrates its print bed ensuring optimal bed leveling and head spacing before beginning every print. The silky smooth CoreXY motion control system used provides unparalleled speed, precision, and print quality. The improved JRX hotend reaches temperatures of 315°C (599°F) and is designed to resist troublesome clogs. With a minimum layer height of just 40 microns the AXIOM can produce ultra-fine detail while minimizing the striated appearance common to FFF style 3D printers. The AXIOM is capable of printing in most thermoplastic materials including high-temperature polycarbonate and nylon filaments.

Here's a video of Old Sparky at the 1:00 mark from SoCal VR Expo earlier this year. 

Monster VR was created on the frontlines of the VR revolution. As founders Orange County VR, they focused on bringing together like minded people with a passion for developing VR/AR Experiences. They host game jams, hackathons, demo nights and educational classes all focused around helping developers improve their content.

We will demo Old Sparky, a VR electric chair that shocks you in real life!
