The global automotive extended reality (XR) market is on the verge of a significant transformation, projected to grow from USD 43.03 billion in 2024 to USD 69.10 billion by 2034. This growth, driven by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.85%, highlights the increasing integration of immersive technologies like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) into the automotive sector. With North America leading the charge and Asia Pacific emerging as the fastest-growing region, the landscape of mobility is set to evolve dramatically.

In a groundbreaking workshop held at MSU-IIT, educators explored the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Extended Reality (ER) in collaborative teaching. With 75 participants from various educational institutions, the event highlighted how integrating these technologies can enhance teaching strategies and engage learners in unprecedented ways. The workshop featured a compelling lecture by Prof. Naoki Suzuki from Tokyo Gakugei University, who shared real-world examples of successful AI and VR implementations in classrooms.

On July 23, visitors at Explora will have the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the cutting-edge world of extended reality (XR) during a special event hosted by Sandia National Laboratories. This event is part of the seventh annual XR Conference, which aims to unite industry leaders, developers, and tech enthusiasts to explore the future of XR technologies. The Sandia XR Demo Day promises to be an engaging experience, featuring live demonstrations of advanced human-machine interfaces, immersive virtual reality applications, and robotics.
