Immersive Wire Anniversary Party
Immersive Wire is a newsletter and community covering XR and emerging tech, with more than 6,000 subscribers. We were invited by the founder, Tom Ffiske, to exhibit our work at Immersive Wire's 10th Anniversary Party, hosted in London's COLAB Tower.
The event brought together XR demos from studios, independent creators, and students, with plenty of time for networking, conversation, and shared excitement around using XR for a range of creative projects.
Showcasing Our Work
Right from the start, we noticed how keen visitors were to put on a headset. We exhibited one of our recent Mixed Reality projects, Scalp Care, which went down extremely well. Across the 4-hour event, there was a constant flow of people wanting to try it out, ask questions, and learn more.
Many users told us they had learned something new about how dandruff actually forms, but in a way that felt fun and accessible, as a discovery mission rather than just being told. The overarching response was that Scalp Care is a strong example of how XR can help build trust in a brand by immersing people in the science and product story.
XR Community
The visitors at this event were a mix of XR companies, freelancers, researchers, university students, and general members of the public. As soon as the doors opened, conversations began. We also made sure to explore some of the other XR projects on display. From cooking simulators, to picking up rubbish on Cat Island, and even a 360 merry-go-round, the demos were all vastly different in style and technology.
We particularly liked Echo Memo, where you talk with an AI companion about a memory, and it creates an image based on your conversation. It was a lovely example of how emerging technology can be personal and emotional, especially in a digital world.
We left the event feeling privileged to have exhibited, and excited by all of the connections we made with passionate creatives and experts. The XR community is constantly growing, and events like this offer a good chance to connect, share ideas, and celebrate what is being built by passionate XR people.
Conclusion
AT D5XR, we strive to play our part in inspiring the XR community, and we had a brilliant experience exhibiting at this event. We left with lots of new connections and fresh inspiration.
For anyone interested in getting involved in the XR community, make sure to subscribe to the Immersive Wire newsletter and hopefully we will catch you at the next XR meet-up.
