This webinar provides an overview of the New Zealand Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and eXtended Reality (XR) industry and also our academic research and capabilities in these areas.

We examine our unique strengths in the context of the Global industry and explore how international leaders in the field view our performance and our researchers.

The New Zealand AR/VR/XR Market Report was written by Professor Mark Billinghurst from the Auckland Bioengineering Institute at the University of Auckland for the NZ Government Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE), and focuses on providing recommendations for the AR/VR/XR industry and research sectors which could contribute to New Zealand's economic productivity and business growth.

This webinar is brought to you by the University of Auckland and UniServices. The report was funded by MBIE.
