Extended Reality Technology Center

Extended Reality Technology Center (XRTC) sees Extended Reality as the core paradigm in which future societies will communicate, interact and transact. XR includes any technology that allows for the information transfer between the physical and digital worlds, including augmented reality, virtual reality and mixed reality. XRTC has three main components: Research, Education and Community. The research thrust brings together more than 250 faculty from multiple disciplines to tackle new topics in XR. The education thrust focuses on developing a new educational curriculum at all levels including undergraduate, graduate and general workforce development. The community thrust focuses on bringing new technology to the public’s attention to encourage adoption and participatory design.
