XR Urban Fabrics – Searching for Materialities in the City
In mid-October, CAPHE’s partners from Jagiellonian University, PUNO, and Narratologies team came together for a series of fun XR pilots and academic activities. This was part of the CAPHE project. The event included interesting talks, hands-on workshops, and pilot events. As a result, participants got to try immersive activities and learn new things.
The event was also a great opportunity to work together. Partners shared ideas and knowledge, which made the project better. This exchange of information not only improved the project but also helped get ready for future projects in Kenya and Lisbon. It also prepared the way for more international projects in the future.
The activities were designed to encourage teamwork. Experts from different areas came together to explore the possibilities of Extended Reality (XR) in both education and real-life situations. By working on XR ideas, participants helped the project grow. They also found new ways to use immersive technologies. Because of this, the teamwork helped the CAPHE project move forward and made the connections between the groups involved even stronger.
The workshops also gave useful hands-on experiences. Participants got to try out XR tools and techniques in a safe setting. These sessions were important for improving the technical parts of the project. In return, participants gave feedback that will be helpful for future projects. By the end of the event, it was clear that the knowledge gained and the connections made would help CAPHE grow and reach its goals.
The AR Pilot Hunt – Lisbon Edition
On October 31st, the second XR pilot experiment took place at FBAUL. Partners from Jagiellonian University, FBAUL, and Narratologies team worked together to improve the immersive AR experience. The goal was to make the experience fit better with the busy city of Lisbon, making it more interactive and fun for users.
The event had great participation from Bachelor’s and Master’s students from different FBAUL departments. These students shared useful ideas and helped improve the data collected during the experiment. Also, comparing the results with the Florence event helped adjust the findings, which made the immersive experience even better.
These activities and teamwork not only helped us understand XR technologies more, but also created a strong foundation for future projects in Kenya and Lisbon. The work done at the event also opened new chances for research and development in XR. It also increased the potential for academic and technology partnerships.
