UCLA XR Initiative
At UCLA, we are building an XR (AR, VR, 360 capture, etc) resource for the campus in the hopes of bridging the gaps of knowledge and creating a safe environment for anyone to ask questions and discuss various use cases of extended reality technologies. You can find more details on our quarterly meetings, subcommittees, and events at https://xri.ucla.edu/.
Join our conversations in the xr-initiative in the UCTech Slack Workspace! Or contact us at ucla.xri@gmail.com
