XR News in Oxford
Working alongside University College, Oxford X-Reality Hub created an immersive mobile VR app which transports users from all corners of the globe inside the College’s quadrangles and halls. This real-world solution gives users, including donors and prospective students, an inside glimpse of the College and of its emerging developments in North Oxford.
This is a clear example of how immersive technologies can be used, not only to create solutions to current issues, but also to usher organisations into the future.
