What is XRchiving?

XRchiving exists to advance understanding of the application of XR (Extended, Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality) technology in digital heritage, place-shaping and storytelling.

We support global knowledge-sharing, enabling standards-based re-use and preservation of data, and exploring its potential to strengthen the digital public realm in the UK and Europe. XRchiving organises conferences and workshops and is a partner in funded projects that broker collaboration between universities, designers, architects, local communities and public authorities, intersecting with providers of immersive artistic and other experiences.

XRchiving has a wide scope, but we focus particularly on the three-dimensional historic built environment, and on collections curated by the Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) sector. We seek to develop new educational and learning tools using XR and to explore ways in which they can be used to support improved economic, social and health outcomes.

Check out the schedule of XRchiving 2024 on 20 April 2024 at Bush House, King's College London.
