Learn how the Immersive Experience Alliance (IXA)—a coalition of universities at the forefront of Extended Reality (XR) innovation — is redefining interdisciplinary collaboration and amplifying the role of the arts in shaping creative futures. We will share how XR technologies are rapidly transforming how we teach, research, and create, dissolving traditional boundaries between disciplines and prompting new models of collaboration between artists, computer scientists, social scientists, and humanities scholars.

Through interactive demonstrations and dialogue, this session invites participants to gain practical insights into how their institutions can embrace XR as a vehicle for creative learning and meaningful impact.

This special panel is open to everyone – no conference registration required – and will take place in the Hamel Music Center Concert Hall. To attend all the a2ru events, register for the full conference here.
