Over the course of two days, attendees gained insights through keynote presentations from pioneers in creative and applied fields, heard about a number of exciting current and emerging projects from ECRs in a Fast Forward Session, and participated in a Co-Creation Session contributing to dialogue about the application of transformative technologies for social good.

A primary aim of the forum was to inspire a transdisciplinary research network to support emerging researchers innovating creative, applied and clinical applications of cutting edge XR technologies: this effort represents a UON-led collaboration of scholars from diverse specialised knowledge fields.
