• Virtual production.
• Virtual characters and performance capture.
• Virtual archiving.
• Virtual reality.
• Spatial audio technology.

This latest initiative builds on activities undertaken by the XR Stories team during the last year to foster innovation and create new opportunities for researchers, companies and creative practitioners working in XR technologies.
