XR Creators Connect NL #8

Welcome to the 8th XR Creators Connect meetup, at which we bring together the XR community in The Netherlands!

There is no escaping it: generative AI, large language models, AI-assisted coding, 3d art generation, etc are changing what it means to build digital products, also in our world of XR. In this edition of XRCC NL we've asked a few people who are at the forefront of this change to tell us all about it: what works, what doesn't, what it changes and which new possibilities it enables. We think it'll be a very interesting edition!

This edition will be on Thursday March 19th, 2026 at B'GAME Incubator in Breda, which is a roughly 13-minute walk from Breda trainstation.

We'll have presentations by:

• Stijn Spanhove is one of those name most of us will have seen at some point or another, as he has a knack for going building interesting things that go viral, win hackathons and contest, and are just downright cool to look at. His creations often contain an AI-element, for instance to transform his environment in AR. Check out his work at https://www.linkedin.com/in/stijn-spanhove/details/featured/. We're honored he's coming over from Gent to join us in-person.
• Philipp Sieben runs the YouTube channel PixelArtistry (https://www.youtube.com/@PixelArtistry_/videos), where he tracks the cutting edge of 3D creation with AI tooling and his weekly PixelArtistry newsletter (https://pixel-artistry.com/) about the same topic. There are few people more up to date on the state of the art of AI-powered 3D art creation, with a realistic view of both the strengths and limitations. Already curious? Check out his recent interview with Gabriele Romagnoli at
  We're hyped that he's coming over from Munich to share his knowledge with us!
