The first full week of December is ACM’s CSEdWeek (https://www.csedweek.org), and our chapter always has an education-related special program to celebrate.

 

Research on immersive media for learning now spans five decades and many types of interfaces. This big-picture talk looks at lessons learned over this time period, including more than three decades of designing and studying various forms of XR. All of us now stand at the threshold of a golden-age of powerful, affordable experience-on-demand. The next five years offer many opportunities for advances that deepen learning and enhance assessment.
