Jan-Erik Vinje is a senior full-stack developer at Norkart, where he is currently in charge of research and development efforts on the Open AR-Cloud. He was part of the team which created the groundbreaking Border GO prototype which will be discussed in the talk. In the mid 90ties while still in his teens, he made the first computer-generated virtual studio backgrounds for broadcast TV in Norway from his bedroom. The pioneering experience of combining the real and the virtual over 20 years ago is mirrored in his current work on the Open AR-cloud.
