Authorship

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. We encourage you to have a look at the state of the work as of March 2025:

1st Quarter Presentation
of the work as of end of March 2025

You can also experience it yourself if you have a headset which supports WebXR, such Meta Quest or Apple Vision Pro:

Live XR Experience

Specific Tests: (experimental ring interaction) (Ring after picking up text) (Contextual Ring)

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:

In-Person Demos

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.

How it Started
