Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

The Human Factors Extended Reality (XR) Showcase is an annual, interactive hands-on demonstration session of XR technologies and applications. Attendees can walk to different stations to experience the applications while the presenter explains. The 12 interactive demonstration stations highlight the integration of XR technologies and other technologies, including haptic devices and artificial intelligence, to enable human factor research and applications that span training, learning, research assessment, and simulations. Aligned with the mission of HFES, the purpose of the XR Showcase is to enable individuals to acquire knowledge about XR applications through interactive demonstrations, increase exposure of XR to the HFES community, support content visualization of interdisciplinary research, and create an exchange forum to support communication and collaboration.
