In 2025 we are looking at authorship in XR with a focus on the process of an academic user constructing a spatial arrangements of knowledge.
An important aspect of this work is that the user can set the parameters of many of the aspects of the experience. It is also important for the user to be able to import their own information and export it for later re-use.
Annotated Bibliography
The Live XR experience to access when you are in your VR/AR/XR headset, as presented at ACM Hypertext ’25: Annotated Bibliography. Note that you pinch with your right hand to select and move, and with your left hand to execute commands.
Knowledge Space
Further Knowledge Space XR Experiences for Quest, Vision Pro and other headsets, with video previews as well as our initial
Individual Tests

Presentations
We encourage you to have a look at the state of the work:
1st Quarter Presentation
of the work as of end of March 2025
(specific interactions)
2nd Quarter (midway) Presentation
of the work as of June 2025
Integration
If you are a developer or if you use Author, developed by one of our Principal Investigators as a separate project, and you want to integrate with the Knowledge Space, please get in touch. If you come here via Author and want to experiment with the XR uploading, this is the URL you need to append in the XR Export:

Walkthroughs
We are also recording in-person walkthrough demo sessions with academics to align with their needs for authoring in XR, which are available to view:
Our specific case is for the user to produce an ‘article’/‘volume’ for the upcoming ‘The Future of Text 6’ presented in a spatial manner. This should include sources from previous volumes and select ACM Hypertext papers in a process of creating an academic annotated bibliography, not simply plain text. We maintain a DevLog to track work after the 1st Quarter Presentation.
