Together with the Social and Behavioural Sciences Faculty at Leiden University<\/a> (FSW), Monika Theron<\/a> of Centre for Innovation<\/a>(CFI) co-organized an event accommodating XR on Tour by SURF<\/a>. The half day event consisted of presentations and demos of several AR and VR projects for education and research. CFI Developer Adel Qaddoumi<\/a> presented the Injection App, developed for Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC) \u2014 a multi-user AR (HoloLens) application that simulates the experience of a real-world injection procedure using holograms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day started with a series of short presentations highlighting the projects and ended with everyone testing out each other’s work. There was a lot of fun had and many had the opportunity to test out the new Varjo XR-3, with its high pixel density and full colour mixed reality pass through capabilities. (see the presentation for more details on Surf’s demos they had on display).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contributors included Paul Melis, Toby Besamusca, and Cathy Brouwer of SURF, Robin de Lange of VR Learning Lab<\/a>, XR developer Maarten Struijk at the FSW, and many others. More coverage of the event and projects is to come in September!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
