Extended reality (XR) has the capability to reinvent the way we communicate, experience gaming and other forms of entertainment, and transform industries such as healthcare, real estate, retail and e-commerce.

The XR in Game Design and Development Workshop from Alfaisal University’s Game Innovation Lab provides a foundational understanding and conversational fluency in the principles that underlie XR technologies along with the ability to consider users' needs when refining applications or developing new ones.

By the end of this 4-hour program, you will be better positioned to conceive XR system ideas, communicate them to developers, and make recommendations to key stakeholders in the scope of games in the metaverse.
