The TRANSMIXR Project participated in the 2nd Spring School on Social XR, organized by the Distributed and Interactive Systems group (DIS) from CWI. Prof. Aljosa Smolic gave the talk “Volumetric Content Creation for Immersive XR Experiences”. The event took place on March 4th – 8th, 2024, and attracted 30 students from different disciplines (technology, social sciences, and humanities).
The program included 22 lectures, 6 of them open, by 23 instructors. The event was organized by Irene Viola, Silvia Rossi, Thomas Röggla, and Pablo Cesar from CWI; and Omar Niamut from TNO. It was co-sponsored by ACM SIGMM, the ACM Special Interest Group on Multimedia, and TRANSMIXR partner The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision.
“The future of media communication is immersive, and will empower sectors such as cultural heritage, education, manufacturing, and provide a climate-neutral alternative to traveling in the European Green Deal”. With such a vision in mind, the organization committee continued for a second edition with a holistic program around the research topic of Social XR. The program included keynotes and workshops, where prominent scientists in the field shared their knowledge with students and triggered meaningful conversations and exchanges.
