Mind The XR Gap

Our beloved Mind The XR Gap listeners, sorry for the delay on our episodes. In this episode we discuss the future we envision for XR in the upcoming years and the achivements the industry needs to meet along the way. The episode focuses on how and when VR should be used and when to avoid. Please feel free to get in touch to tell us your opinions!

This week we discuss the use of XR for reconstructing historical sites that are not with us anymore. We are joined by two very special guests Ben Newman and Adam Morsman who are research apprentices at one of the largest telecommunications company in the UK. Research apprentices tell us about their journey on creating a virtual reality experience for the Bawsdsey Radar in Suffolk. VR experience is now available to try in the Bawdsey Radar Museum where guests can climb up the historical radar towers that were used to detect enemy planes in World War 2.

A very special episode today! It's a Christmas special and an end of the first season of this podcast. It's a very light and relaxed chat with a review over the last year and brainstorming on new topics for the year to come. Please join our conversation and hope to see you on Season 2 of the "Mind the XR gap"
