HFES Opportunities

What The XR Showcase will be an alternative session for HF students, faculty, practitioners, professionals, and designers/developers to showcase state-of-the-art XR applications. This featured session has grown yearly since the “Me and My VE” demos of 2020. 

  

Overview This is an interactive session. It is much like an interactive poster session but with XR applications! The session will begin with each presenter briefly introducing (<2 mins) their application. Once this lightning round of introductions is finished, audience members will be free to move around the room and interact with all the demonstrations. Last year’s session included demonstrations from academia, industry, and government.

 

Do If you are interested in participating in this showcase, please send an email (email subject: “XR Showcase 2025 submission”) stating your interest and a brief written description of the XR application you would like to demonstrate as an attachment (word document) to kbchen2@ncsu.edu by 9:00 PM EST Wednesday, February 5, 2025. If your XR Showcase submission is accepted, you will be notified by Monday, February 10, 2025.

 

Your written description in a Word document should include the following:

 

• Two (2) paragraphs describe the application you plan to demonstrate and how it relates to human factors research (e.g., training and education, test and validation practices, design and planning exercises, human factors-oriented research studies, etc.).

• Several sentences describing the equipment you plan to bring to support the demonstration (Video / Audio / Computing requirements to support your demonstration).

• A picture of the environment (e.g., virtual scenario) or application.

​

If you have any questions or want to discuss the event, please contact Karen Chen (kbchen2@ncsu.edu) or the other session organizers. You can also learn about the submission by reviewing last year’s proceedings.
