Several members of DigiMedia took part in the XR Salento – International Conference on eXtended Reality, held in Otranto, Italy, from June 17 to 20.
The team disseminated its research developed in the field of virtual reality, across different domains of application such as education and therapy, contributing to a program that included around 90 oral communications (full paper presentations) and 90 posters.
The following works, now published in a Springer volume, were presented by members of the research unit at the conference:
