The show featured a fireside chat with Oculus inventor Palmer Lucky, a marvelous XR museum, the first 101 members of the AWE Hall of Fame, and the annual Auggie awards show.



On the expo floor were 300 exhibitors, with a strong showing from developers of XR entertainment content. AWE always kicks off with a “State of the XR Union” keynote from co-founder and Executive Director, Ori Inbar. He opened, as usual, with a few computer gags.
