Who Is Driving XR4ALL?
XR4all is co-organized by three academic chairs, bringing together two publicly funded initiatives and networks:
• Human and Technology at TU Chemnitz (Prof. Dr. Lewis Chuang)
• Ergonomics and Innovation at TU Chemnitz (Prof. Dr. Angelika Bullinger-Hoffmann)
• Hive Lab; Human-Centered Ubiquitous Computing at LMU Munich (Prof. Dr. Albrecht Schmidt)
• Hive-Lab, a BMBF initiative to provide VR access to startups and small-medium initiatives for user-prototyping and -testing: https://hive-lab.org/about/
• XR-Interaction, a network of startups/ SMEs (e.g., games, engineering) and broadcasting agencies (e.g., ZDF, SWR) who have an interest in XR media: https://xr-interaction.com/
XR4ALL Will..
• provide a platform for industry startups and SMEs to share their business use cases and exchange with users as well as researchers
• present academic findings of XR use to industry, society, as well as arts and culture
• introduce state-of-the-art XR technology to stakeholders with limited access (e.g., grassroots associations, representatives from arts and culture)
• elicit requirements from arts and culture as well as grassroots associations on the desired use cases and technology adoption at the individual and societal level
• facilitate exchange between researchers in the field during the workshop XR4all,
