EDXR 2019 is a meeting/workshop on Education and Extended Reality. EDXR 2019 addresses current topics in teaching XR application and content development, including how educators are approaching XR development, best practices, guiding student XR projects, XR curriculum and class development, actual techniques, and the future direction of this field. The meeting features a talk by the pioneer of this field, Dr. Jacki Morie, discussions and hands-on workshop on VR techniques.
At this year's SIGGRAPH, Committee member Glenn Goldman (New Jersey Institute of Technology) moderated the session Preparing Students to Take the Next Step: School to Work Transition (Demo Reels and Beyond), an Educators’ Forum panel with industry representatives speaking about what students need to do in order to facilitate their entry into industry.
These images and videos were screened at the Education Committee Booth throughout the week at SIGGRAPH 2019 in Los Angeles, CA.. The curated exhibit was open to all faculty working at Secondary/High School through University levels. All submissions were required to be accompanied by the assignment, in PDF format.
The exhibit can now be viewed online.
