Explore the XR titles plus networking opportunities at the Festival

This past week we hosted our 4th XR Brain Jam, produced in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon Entertainment Technology Center. The event was a collaboration between developers, scientists, subject matter experts, and others. At the end of the week, there were three laurel recipients: Product Potential - GLocal Garden, Research Application - Breath Sync, and XR Innovation - PowrPsrVR. The Jam Choice selection was Breath Garden. You can check out these and the other experiences from the Brain Jam here.  Each year, the XR Immersive Arcade exemplifies how immersive technologies create new forms of social impact and engagement across various industries, including education, health, civics, and entertainment.
