ABOUT US

The XR Lab operates across two sites, Marylebone and Cavendish, in order to help students integrate emergent technologies such as augmented reality and virtual reality into their work.

We are able to offer advice and access to equipment that can help students of varying abilities to create impressive results.

USING THE LAB

We continually produce new tutorials that will walk you through the steps for creating different kinds of XR experiences. We are also happy to offer suggestions if you want to build something not currently covered in our Knowledgebase.

We require everyone to complete the XR Essentials before you can book development time in the lab, this ensures you are aware of the lab rules and you have the minimum skills to begin working by yourself. To sign up and book, use the buttons below!
