XR experiences – where digital worlds meet reality.

Research focus areas

Within the field of expertiseExtended Reality (XR), we research and develop immersive technologies that bridge the boundaries between the physical and the digital world. We work on applications in Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) that enable complex content to be communicated in a tangible, experiential and interactive way.

Our XR solutions are applied across a wide range of domains:

  • Education and Training: Virtual learning environments and simulation-based training scenarios.

  • Medicine: VR-supported therapy, medical visualisation and virtual companions.

  • Security and Forensics: Crime scene reconstruction and decision-support systems.

  • Psychology: Experimental environments for the study of behaviour and perception, including XR as research labs.

  • Culture, Architecture and Industry: Immersive applications for design, planning, communication and industrial innovation.

Our projects range from foundational research to the prototypical implementation on current XR platforms.
