RIG aims to leverage the University of Glasgow’s XR infrastructure investments (ARC-XR and Partick Burgh Hall Teaching Lab), research expertise and successful grant acquisition to strategically expand research, grant capture, innovation and entrepreneurship around Extended Reality (XR).
RIG will:
- Build upon the University of Glasgow’s standing as an innovation hub, creating the conditions for economic stimulus for the city, the region, and the country.
- Enhance collaboration across and within disciplines through the use of immersive technology.
- Expand the horizon for virtualisation and human connection, improving access and accessibility, creating economic opportunity, and reducing travel, waste, and risk.
- Harness the full potential of the curiosity, creativity, and enterprise that characterise this research-rich environment to positively impact the ways in which XR learning and teaching is innovated, implemented, experienced and evaluated
