This is the program for the Community Events.

XR and Geospatial Community Roundtable

Extended Reality (XR) is becoming increasingly relevant for geospatial applications, including immersive map visualization, digital twins, field navigation, training, remote collaboration, and spatial data exploration.

This community event will provide an open and informal space for participants interested in the intersection of XR and geospatial technology. The event aims to bring together practitioners, developers, researchers, and organizations who are experimenting with or already using AR, VR, and mixed reality in geospatial contexts.

The discussion will focus on practical experience rather than product presentations. Topics may include XR hardware, development environments, SDKs, implemented use cases, technical and organizational challenges, lessons learned, AR navigation, map overlays, spatial annotations, indoor/outdoor positioning, and the visualization of geodata in immersive environments.
