Discover how the Queensland XR Hub helps develop local immersive technologies talent to support the increased use of extended reality (XR) in Queensland high-priority industries.
About the Queensland XR Hub
The Queensland XR Hub is the place to go for anyone interested in this booming growth field.
Extended reality refers to a range of technologies, including:
- Augmented Reality (AR)
- Virtual Reality (VR)
- Mixed Reality (MR)
- Spatial Computing.
What distinguishes all of these technologies is their attempt to emulate a physical world through a digital or simulated experience — which creates a sense of immersion in the digital realm.
The Queensland XR Hub is managed by a team of XR specialists and is located at The Precinct in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane.
The hub is funded by Advance Queensland with support from the Queensland XR ecosystem.
