WHAT IS XR ACADEMIA?
A platform. A community. A bridge.
A creator.
XR ACADEMIA is an international platform connecting AI, XR, education, research and industry.
We create spaces where knowledge is shared, technologies are experienced, people are trained, projects are showcased, research is published, talent is recognised and new collaborations are built.
From our annual international conference to our educational programs, XR Awards, podcast, Open Science publications, industry showcases and original XR experiences, we connect ideas with the people and opportunities that can turn them into impact.

OUR BOOK - OPEN SCIENCE
Making knowledge accessible, collaborative and useful.

AI · XR · Education · Media · Climate · Human Potential
FROM XR RESEARCH TO MARKET & PUBLICATION
We specialise in conducting research for XR and AI products, helping companies and creators generate the evidence, insights and validation needed to support commercialisation within months while creating opportunities for academic publication.
