Introducing XR LAB, a new space to modify reality

Date

11 January 2020

This laboratory is conceived as a meeting point where users can experiment with new visual formats (Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality).

IED has joined the technological revolution, incorporating a new space dedicated to modifying reality into its facilities: the XR LAB powered by Panasonic.

This laboratory is conceived as a meeting point where users can experiment with new visual formats (Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality), and is open to all areas of design.

The lab contains four workstations, seven sets of virtual reality glasses, controllers and other technical equipment through which the multiple functionalities and applications of these technologies in design projects can be investigated.

Virtual innovation is gaining increasing importance, and for creatives, it is a great tool to transform and improve society.
