XR Brooklyn: Worlds by Hand

XR Brooklyn showcases the digital environments of tomorrow, brought directly from workshops & fabrication spaces of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
About this Event

Every virtual and extended world, intelligent system, and immersive experience begins with human creativity, craft, and intention. XR Brooklyn brings together creatives and technologists working together in and around the Brooklyn Navy Yard as these artists, engineers, storytellers, and entrepreneurs develop what's next for New York City's creative economy.
