Take a closer look at how we believe the port will one day evolve into a Living Digital Entity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In 2018 I had the opportunity to propose the APICA concept to the Port of Antwerp leadership Team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All I had was a handful of interactive virtual reality demonstrations, a personal philosophy on how technological advancements will change the way we work in the next ten years, a title and a key image that says more than a thousand words. By changing one letter, the main port system became an assistant with a face and a brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten years ago only the lucky few had a smartphone or a flatscreen monitor, today our mobile devices are more powerful than most personal computers back then. I believe that in ten years time, physical screens could be a thing of the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today about 50% of all western adults wear glasses or contact lenses, in ten years time everybody that wants to view a screen will own a pair. Of course the concept screens themselves will fade as computing itself will become spatial and no longer bound to a flat rectangle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never in history have investments been so large as seen today in virtual and augmented reality startups and companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now is the time to not only think about how we will interface with our own content, partners and systems, but to actually start building the foundations for this interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is what APICA as a philosophy represents\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book captures the conception and continuous growth of APICA. It\u2019s a creative status report of where we are today and an ambitious vision for how we\u2019ll move forward. But more than anything, it\u2019s an inspirational trigger for your imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
