About Us
The Oxford X-Reality Hub harnesses the power of Immersive Technologies.
The Oxford X-Reality Hub harnesses Immersive Technologies, namely Virtual and Augmented Reality, within the University of Oxford for research, innovation, the commercialisation of research outputs and the development of new skills.
Since its launch in 2017, after winning the IT Innovation Challenge, the Hub has been supporting research and teaching in Oxford across all six of the University’s Divisions. The Oxford X-Reality Hub remains unique within Oxford and has become the point of reference within the University for immersive technologies. The Oxford X-Reality Hub team has won the IT Innovation Challenge 2017, OxTalent 2018 award and two EPSRC grants. It also received sponsorship from leading companies, such as AWS, DELL, Nvidia and HTC Vive.
