In the ever-evolving landscape of Mixed Reality (XR) technology, staying ahead of the curve is essential for professionals and researchers alike. XR technologies are being used in various business sectors such as entertainment, health, sports, media, education and more. EMIL (European Media and Immersion Lab) will define and accelerate the development of the XR industry through innovation, collaboration and knowledge exchange, inviting XR business and research professionals to work together to meet the world's and people's challenges.
At the heart of the pan-European network is a community of developers, content creators, researchers, entrepreneurs and industry leaders united by their passion for XR technology. The EMIL network is coordinated by Aalto University (Aalto) in Finland and includes Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg (FABW) in Germany, Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Spain and University of Bath (UB) in England, as well as 13 new members from Greece, the Netherlands, Austria and France. The community covers a wide range of starting points for XR media, from location-based media to health care and sports applications, from entertainment production and education to co-working platforms and the development of new devices and tools for XR media.
The network connects members' physical and virtual infrastructures to accelerate the development of virtual, augmented and mixed reality technologies, content, services and applications.
