XR Atlas

2023

XR Atlas is an educational online platform exploring the world of extended reality (XR), including virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and augmented reality (AR). Its mission is to challenge the conventional view of XR as mere escapism and instead explore the possibilities of a more embodied and enacted understanding of virtual technologies. Rather than focusing solely on well-known technological advancements, XR Atlas gathers lesser-known examples from literature, film, theatre, and multimedia arts that explore spatial perception at the thresholds of our material and virtual worlds. XR Atlas is designed for practitioners and researchers from all disciplines, providing chronological and thematic overviews for exhibitions, editorial projects, and research. The platform is continually curated, and users can contribute by adding images, text, and categories to further its objective of questioning the future development and use of virtual technologies by reinvesting in their past.
