This one-day, in-person symposium brings together educators, researchers, industry partners and learners to explore the current and future potential of extended reality (XR) applications within an education and training context.
Immersive experiences in augmented and virtual reality are becoming more accessible to a wider audience, and this symposium invites participants to join the conversation on May 14th in the Technological University of the Shannon (TUS), Athlone Campus.
