GuestXR Final Event

Addressing societal challenges through immersive technologies is a key priority for Europe’s innovation landscape. Over the past four years, the GuestXR project has developed innovative extended reality (XR) solutions for social good that integrate artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and advanced sensory technologies tailored to enhance social inclusion, deepen historical understanding, promote climate change awareness, and support conflict resolution, all while prioritising user-centered design and ethical considerations. These advancements aimed at transforming virtual and augmented reality meetings, and how they can foster empathy, collaboration, and sustainable impact across diverse communities.

During the GuestXR Final Event, leading researchers will present the most significant innovations, developments, and outcomes achieved within the project, showcasing their transformative potential for digital meetings. The event will feature use cases, including solutions for hearing-impaired inclusion, immersive historical protest scenarios, climate change education, and conflict resolution interventions, alongside with demonstrations of AI-driven virtual agents and haptic interfaces. The event will conclude with a dynamic panel discussion with experts from academia and industry, exploring the challenges, lessons learnt, and future prospects for advancing the use of AI in VR/AR.

OPENVERSE’s representatives have been invited to take part to the event and contribute to the debate.
