Many research prototypes end up being evaluated during project lifetime but not developed further or even maintained because of luck of funds. Polishing such prototypes to be usable products, releasing, and maintaining them is of great value for the sustainability of R&amp;D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. When developing research prototypes at universities, student projects can be integrated to the R&amp;D, as in these two immersive learning projects at IMTEL: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntnu.edu\/imtel\/nevrolens\">Nevrolens<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntnu.edu\/imtel\/vr4vet\">VR4VET<\/a>. This facilitates continuous development of the software in a project and reduces the tasks for the senior developers to technical coordination, maintenance, and refactoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Engaging teaching staff at a university is a way to implement immersive learning on a budget. Demonstrate the possibilities of the technology to the teachers, teach those who are interested in a continuing education course, engage them as subject matter experts to co-supervise a student project, develop a prototype, evaluate it, and apply for external funding with this solid background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2024\/03\/2024_03_21_ML_Developing-and-using-XR-apps-in-a-university_Fominykh.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of 2024_03_21_M&amp;L_Developing-and-using-XR-apps-in-a-university_Fominykh.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-bd96183c-a8e0-4136-961d-0eec479c0412\" href=\"https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2024\/03\/2024_03_21_ML_Developing-and-using-XR-apps-in-a-university_Fominykh.pdf\">2024_03_21_M&amp;L_Developing-and-using-XR-apps-in-a-university_Fominykh<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2024\/03\/2024_03_21_ML_Developing-and-using-XR-apps-in-a-university_Fominykh.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-bd96183c-a8e0-4136-961d-0eec479c0412\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntnu.edu\/imtel\/\">IMTEL &#8211;
