Session 8: XR: Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality Technologies
Tuesday, June 15, 2021
Noon – 1pm
By: Joe Weaver – Ario, and Tim Chrisman – VARtech
X Reality (XR or Cross Reality) is defined as: a form of “mixed reality environment that comes from the fusion (union) of ubiquitous sensor/actuator networks and shared online virtual worlds....”.[1] It encompasses a wide spectrum of hardware and software, including sensory interfaces, applications, and infrastructures, that enable content creation for virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), cinematic reality (CR). With these tools, users generate new forms of reality by bringing digital objects into the physical world and bringing physical world objects into the digital world.
XR technologies have applications in almost every industry, such as: architecture, automotive industry, sports training, real estate, mental health, medicine, health care, retail, space travel, design, engineering, interior design, television and film, media, advertising, marketing, libraries, education, news, music, and travel.
Listen to two of our regional experts on these cutting-edge technologies and their applications.

Organizer Hampton Roads Innovation Collaborative, the region's Tech Council
Organizer of Session 8: XR: Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality Technologies
The Hampton Roads Innovation Collaborative (HRIC), was originally known as the Hampton Roads Technology Council (HRTC), one of ten technology councils in the commonwealth of Virginia.
HRTC was formed in the late 1990s as a 501(c)6 non-profit solely focused on advancing the technology businesses in the Hampton Roads region.
In its early days, HRTC was focused on start-up incubators, an important component of business ecosystems, but eventually realized that incubators were inadequate as a sole driver of the regional tech sector.
In 2016, HRTC rebranded to HRIC and is approaching its new mission of creating programs, events, and visibility for area technology companies.
These activities are intended to assist development and growth of the technology sector and contribute to a diversified regional economy.
