On March 8, 2023, the Sense-IT team at NTNU was host for a delegation of researchers, educators and entrepreneurs in the XR domain from Slovenia. The delegation was ending a collaborative research project (under the EEA agreement) with colleagues at NTNU. As part of this Sense-IT arranged a comprehensive lab tour of our Digital storytelling, Immersive media and XR related projects. The delegation consisted of 18 visitors with an additional 3 from NTNU.

Next, on March 10, Sense-IT was host for a seminar with participants from Universitetsavisa (NTNUs internal newspaper) and members from the NTNU communication department (Graphic design and Social Media responsible). The seminar ran for a full day with talks on Immersive Journalism and XR activities in the first session. This was followed by a hands on brainstorm on how the participants could benefit from using XR. After lunch Sense-IT arranged a comprehensive lab tour of our Digital storytelling, Immersive media and XR related projects. The delegation consisted of 7 visitors with an additional 6 from NTNU.

From AdMire, we set up the complete system with a remote mobile phone. The participants were able to be teleported to a meeting table with a talent. The others were observers and interested participants. The demonstration spurred a lot of interesting discussions and reflections.
