To help you plan your time at DevSummit<\/a>, below you\u2019ll find a comprehensive list of all the opportunities to learn about the Game Engine Maps SDKs, to engage with the development team directly, to get answers to your questions, and to give us your feedback.<\/p>\n We have two primary sessions dedicated to the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity<\/a> and ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine<\/a> (Game Engine Maps SDKs). The first session is an introductory session that will provide an overview of the Game Engine Maps SDKs, discuss the latest releases, and present a roadmap for the future. If you\u2019re new to the Game Engine Maps SDKs or need to evaluate whether these SDKs are the right tool for your project, then this session is for you. The second session covers advanced topics in developing solutions with our Game Engine SDKs. If you need insights into advanced techniques to make your scenes and data come to life in a game engine, attend this session.<\/p>\n ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Game Engines: An Introduction<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Thursday, Mar 14 | 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM PDT | Primrose B<\/p>\n This session will demonstrate capabilities of the ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Unity and Unreal Engine, discuss the architecture of these game engine plug-ins, and present the goals and roadmap for these new developer products. We\u2019re excited to show you how to use the ArcGIS Maps SDKs for game engines to build immersive, cutting-edge 3D and XR experiences with real-world data!<\/em><\/p>\n ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Game Engines: Advanced Workflows<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Thursday, Mar 14 | 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM PDT | Mojave Learning Center<\/p>\n This session will demonstrate techniques for developers to enhance application experiences built with the ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Unity and Unreal Engine. This includes optimizing visualization of ArcGIS data sources, enabling access to geospatial analysis, using special effects and physics in game engines, building XR experiences, and much more.<\/em><\/p>\n Combining ArcGIS with game engines can bring your scenes to life and deliver truly immersive experiences. The following demo theaters showcase this benefit by using game engines to deliver real-world data in XR (extended reality) apps for headsets and mobile devices and to leverage special effects, animated assets, and particle systems that enable high powered visualizations and lifelike experiences.<\/p>\n Developing XR Applications with a Game Engine<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Tuesday, Mar 12 | 4:00 PM – 4:30 PM PDT | Demo Theater 1: Oasis 1-2<\/p>\n Enhancing Visualization of GIS Data in a Game Engine<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Tuesday, Mar 12 | 4:45 PM – 5:15 PM PDT | Demo Theater 1: Oasis 1-2<\/p>\n Game engines are uniquely qualified to deliver the responsiveness, frame rates, and fidelity necessary to target AR, MR, and VR experiences on XR headsets and mobile devices. Game Engine Maps SDKs enable easy access to real-world data to power these immersive experiences and bring your users, your life, into the scene. This session will provide a comprehensive view of ArcGIS apps and developer technology (including Game Engine Maps SDKs) that enable interactive XR experiences with real-world data.<\/p>\n Extended Reality (XR) in ArcGIS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Wednesday, Mar 13 | 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM PDT | Primrose B<\/p>\n If you have questions about how game engines fit in the ArcGIS system, we have two sessions that will address your questions around popular strategic topics, namely how can 3D capabilities be utilized effectively by developers and what are the development options for mobile and desktop platforms.<\/p>\n 3D Across ArcGIS: A Developer’s View<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Tuesday, Mar 12 | 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM PDT | Madera<\/p>\n Strategies for Mobile and Desktop Development<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Wednesday, Mar 13 | 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM PDT | Primrose A<\/p>\n ArcGIS CityEngine is advanced 3D modeling software for creating urban environments. It includes tools to generate and render 3D data as well create and improve assets and models used in high-end 3D visualizations across ArcGIS system. While the following sessions do not cover the Game Engine Maps SDKs specifically, the technology and workflows presented can be used to generate and enrich 3D data and assets for use with the Game Engine Maps SDKs.<\/p>\n Procedural 3D Content with ArcGIS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Wednesday, Mar 13 | 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM PDT | San Jacinto<\/p>\n Creating Immersive Experiences with ArcGIS CityEngine and Game Engines<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Thursday, Mar 14 | 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM PDT | Catalina<\/p>\n Maps SDK team members will be available at the Esri Showcase<\/a>, which runs from Tuesday afternoon through Thursday afternoon, and we have a dedicated area for each Game Engine Maps SDK. Stop by to ask specific questions, to learn more about the Maps SDKs, show us what you\u2019ve built or are building, and maybe even give our XR headsets a spin!\u00a0 This is your chance to meet the people that build the technology you use, and we love learning about how the Game Engine Maps SDKs are working for you.<\/p>\n Team members will also be attending the Meet the Teams social<\/a> after the showcase hours end on Tuesday, 6:30pm – 8:30pm on the Esplanade.\u00a0 Drinks and food will be served.\u00a0 Connections will be made.\u00a0 Good times will be had.<\/p>\nPrimary sessions<\/strong><\/h3>\n
