BESC 2023 Keynote

On the 31st October 2023, I gave a keynote at the 10th International Conference on Behavioural and Social Computing (BESC 2023). The talk was entitled ‘Emerging Extended Reality Applications’ and showcased how XR technologies can be used for emerging application domains. Firstly, I introduced the main concepts and principles behind XR. This covered a brief overview of both software and hardware technologies but also adjacent technologies such as human-computer interaction and brain-computer interfaces.

In the second part, the talk demonstrated novel applications that have been experimentally used in laboratory environments but are expected to become the new standards in the broad field of computer science and engineering. Case studies cover research prototypes from several application domains ranging from education, cultural heritage, health, and psychology originating from different research funded projects such as XR4ED and imareculture EU projects.
