IMMERSE - Immersive technologies (AR/VR) Creative Industry Workshops Questionnaire (5 minutes)

The IMMERSE project activates recommendations in the 2022 Eirmersive report “The Irish Immersive Economy”. Phase 1 2023 addresses the key challenges in developing the XR industry ecosystem. Immersive technologies encompass a range of emerging technologies including Augmented Reality (AR)/ Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR). These technologies are also often combined under the heading XR (extended realities).

The project has three strands, with a series of workshops across the region involving the creative industry, enterprise enablers and other industry stakeholders. We are inviting participation from the  business community in the Mid West, North West and West regions on the Atlantic Coast.

The aim is to initiate an engagement to specifically address the identified challenges to socialising the existing and future opportunities to be yielded for all industry in harnessing XR capabilities and to enhance community cohesion and an active ecosystem.  The project actions aim to demonstrate the value of the XR  industry to all business.  The outcomes of Phase 1 will be presented in a report to Government, with recommended actions anticipated to commence in Phase 2, 2024.
 
The IMMERSE workshops are planned for August and September. The aim of each workshop is to:-

- Provide a forum to discuss any challenges that Augmented Reality (AR)/ Virtual Reality (VR) technologies might present for your business
- Discover what opportunities you would like to make the most of
- Try relevant case study demonstrations on headsets and
- Learn what supports are available to you and your business.
