Monday 27th of January 2025.
A themed discussion hosted by Dene Grigar and Frode Hegland on what authoring in XR might be like, beyond tapping on a physical keyboard.
Preview Introduction
Questions
We will ask questions including the following, based on our experience of building XR spaces for Reading in XR last year. Our purpose as researchers are not to come up with simple answers but to continually ask better questions.

Suggestions for questions for thinking before the event:
- What will it feel like if we sit with a traditional screen and it’s just a bit bigger? This is the reality of virtual screens currently. Have you tried it? What did you think?
- What will it feel like if we can read & write anywhere in space? How far can we really go with authoring in XR?
- How can we read and annotate and take this with us when we write?
- How will we be able to embed structure in space? How can we place knowledge in space and how can we share this spatialized knowledge?
- What are the components we will work with?
- How will we be able to embed 3D objects in documents for extraction in space?
- How can tomorrow’s scholar benefit from a spatial authoring environment?
- What kind of structuring and date will be needed to support the full use of what XR might have offer today, tomorrow and in the far future?
