Bio:
Back in 2000 Martin founded Soluis with the aim of delivering best-in-class 3D visualisation and interactive presentation methods. Now, almost 16 years later, the Group – represented across 3 distinct brands; Studios, Interact and Apps –is delivering a growing range of visual media and engagement platforms to businesses operating at all levels of construction and property.
This drive in applying technology to some of the industry’s most fundamental challenges has helped guide Soluis to two major innovation competition wins in 2015; scooping one of only three inaugural Higgs EDGE awards at the Scottish EDGE Finals and being selected as one of the winners of the Innovate UK IC Tomorrow contest.

The session will highlight ways in which the expected changes arising from digital reality platforms in our personal lives will transcend and ultimately enhance numerous aspects of our daily activity in the workplace.
