Supporting researchers across disciplines and fostering collaborations between academia and industry

PRODUCTIVITY

The Oxford X-Reality Hub developed the infrastructure to support the use of immersive technology at the University of Oxford, particularly to increase research outputs, innovation and productivity. Our approach also removes cost barriers and the procurement time of equipment.

INNOVATION

Our team facilitates the development of transformative ideas that leverage immersive technologies. There is no disciplinary limit or constraint on the types of technologies that can be employed.

RESEARCH

We have supported research teams from all divisions: Medical (WIMM Institute), Mathematical, Physical & Life Sciences Division (Computer Science, Psychology, Chemistry, Physics), Social Science (Anthropology and Geography), the Humanities Division (TORCH) and GLAM.

Our Impact

The X-Reality Hub has developed strategic partnerships with a number of commercial companies. In collaboration with AWS, Microsoft, DELL, AMD and HTC Vive, the Oxford X-Reality Hub built an ecosystem capable of supporting researchers without upfront investment.
