Reality Fest

Reality Fest is an XR conference organized by Carolina AR/VR – UNC-Chapel Hill's XR student organization. In honor of its long history of computer graphics and AR/VR research, we're excited to host Reality Fest at Sitterson Hall thanks to support from the UNC Department of Computer Science. In fact, XR artifacts – as seen at SIGGRAPH's 50th anniversary – will be on display within Sitterson Hall throughout the day.

Reality Fest functions to connect and inspire new and experienced XR enthusiasts throughout academia and industry in North Carolina and beyond. It is an opportunity for students and professionals from UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke University, NC State University, along with various other institutions and companies to connect.

• Location: Sitterson Hall
• Address: 232 S Columbia St, Chapel Hill, NC 27514

We encourage you to attend and invite your colleagues and friends who are passionate about XR. Whether you're a student or faculty member engaged in research – or a research scientist, engineering manager, or product designer pushing the next XR product, we'd love to have you involved.
