- Mixed Reality (MR)
- Developments that blend real and virtual worlds to produce new environments where physical and digital objects coexist and interact in real-time, often using headsets with ‘pass-through’ capabilities like the Meta Quest 3 or Apple Vision Pro.
- Extended Reality (XR)
- A collective term that encompasses VR, AR, and MR, referring to all physical-and-virtual combined environments and human-machine interactions generated by computer technology and wearables.
- Spatial Computing
- Projects that use spatial mapping and perception technologies to create interactive experiences in the physical space, enabling intuitive interactions between the user and digital content.
- 360-degree Video
- Utilisation of immersive video technology to create engaging and interactive storytelling experiences, allowing users to look around and explore a scene in every direction.
- Spatial Audio
- Projects that use 3D audio effects to place sound in 360 degrees around a listener.
- Binaural Sound
- Projects that utilise a stereo sound technique that gives audiences a sense of space and distance.
- Haptics and Sensory Feedback
- Incorporating tactile feedback and other sensory technologies to enhance the immersive experience, making the digital interactions feel more real and engaging.
