Content sources such as AR, photogrammetry, motion capture and volumetric video are streamed directly into the SmartStage, making the Centre a one-stop immersive environment for XR innovation and education. WL is continuing to work closely with the University, through supporting the CCIXR’s physical hardware and installation, as well as providing ongoing training and support for both lecturers and students. WL’s role as an innovation partner to the University, allows them to help students fully utilise and push the CCIXR’s groundbreaking facilities to its limits. The collaboration also enables the ongoing exploration of ways in which technologies can be further developed in the future.
