How will XR technologies change our approach to living and working sustainably? AR, VR and MR have become tools increasingly employed in diverse use cases from remote collaboration, virtual meetings and events, in design and manufacturing processes to virtual production and education of sustainable behaviour. Immersive tools provide the power to lessen the need for travel and reduce carbon footprint, decrease the need of physical prototypes and material waste and allow for visualisation from digital twins with wide ranging industry applications to the impacts of our everyday behaviour on the environment. As direct experience can be more powerful than stats and information, XR could be a key enabler in addressing environmental issues by improving understanding and making the issues more relatable, as well as making it possible to virtually experience the negative consequences. While immersive technologies could have a meaningful impact on our resource consumption, will the rise of XR also increase our consumption in other realities and the hotly debated future of the metaverse? Speakers to be announced.
