Post-CHI XR Summer School

Copenhagen

Thank you to all participants and instructors for the amazing summer school!

About the Summer School

The summer school on XR invites participants to Copenhagen, Denmark, for three days May 2-4. The participants will learn about a wide range of topics across Human–Computer Interaction with Extended Reality, including XR prototyping, eye-tracking, haptics and perception. The learning sessions in the first two days consist of introductory lectures, brainstorming, and hands-on hackathon activities, as well as an engaging and fun social program. The grand finale of the summer school will be a larger one-day symposium on XR, where the summer school participants will be joined by other XR researchers to hear featured talks from leading international XR researchers, including Mar Gonzalez-Franco, and a panel discussion about the grand challenges on XR and health by local XR industry leaders. The summer school participants will present their own ideas in a poster and demo session at the symposium and participate in a symposium dinner. This school is ideal for PhD students who are interested in learning about and actively participating in designing the future of XR.
