ARC-XR is a cutting edge collection of resources and studio space. Focusing on research and applications of Extended Reality (XR) - an all-encompassing term for immersive technology, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) – the space will bring together researchers and students to collaborate with external partners to develop world leading research and explore new opportunities arising from visualisation technology.
As one of the largest XR studios in the UK it will provide unique opportunities to push the boundaries of XR research.

Using ARC-XR at the University of Glasgow allowed me to access the XR equipment and lab space for my research. It was also beneficial to have specialised personnel to help with troubleshooting and research gathering. Ultimately, coming to this lab empowered me to conduct an immediate and efficient data collection for my research!”

The XR lab has been invaluable to my PhD and has made conducting research so much easier!
- Thomas Goodge, Computing Science, University of Glasgow
The ARC-XR has been fantastic for our research. The large, purpose built space allows us to conduct research somewhere that participants are able to easily find, are comfortable in, and can use the maximum potential of XR tools. We can trust that the equipment is being maintained and expert help is available if we need it.
