XR Project Session | April Edition starts at 6pm Tuesday, April 18th at Curate Space in Melbourne's CBD. The room will be set up specifically for developing on VR and AR devices with a spacious and flexible layout, easy access wifi, screens for demos and plenty of power outlets.

You’ll be in good company with other developers and creatives, and how you work is up to you. You can use the opportunity to share what you’re working on and get feedback, or knuckle down on your own for the whole session.

Here's what to bring:

• Your devices (laptop/PC/headset etc)
• A project to work on

There will be four XR Project Sessions in 2023 (April, June, August, and October) and at the end of the year, we’ll arrange a demo night (optional) so you can show off your work to a wider audience.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn, create, and connect!

------ FAQs ------
How much are tickets?
Tickets are $10 per person to cover venue hire. The space will be set up specifically for working on laptops/PCs and testing room-scale VR apps.

About Curate Space…
Curate Space is a boutique venue situated in the heart of Melbourne's CBD. The space is dedicated to hosting and producing events which promote collaboration, engagement, and learning, with a focus on digital innovation and social enterprise.
The venue is located halfway down The Causeway laneway (you’ll see the Curate Space sign above the entrance). Enter the foyer and take the elevator to level 6.
Water will be available and you may bring food or snacks with you.

About Devices…
If you usually work on a desktop PC but don’t feel like lugging it into the city, we recommend you bring a laptop and use Anydesk, TeamViewer or Remote Desktop to connect to your PC remotely. (Make sure to test it first!)
Alternatively, you can work on parts of your project that don’t require a powerful computer such as brainstorming/research, concepting, project management, narrative etc.
If you are hoping to test on a specific device, please reach out to the community in our Discord.

About Projects…
The goal of each XR Project Session is for each attendee to go home feeling accomplished and motivated. This is why we ask for everyone to have a project or task to work on. You can attend as few or as many sessions as you like.
Your project or task should have something to do with immersive technology or XR related software and skills. For example, you could get started on an idea for a VR game, follow a software/programming tutorial, sketch out ideas for an AR exhibit, or research and test apps on your headset.
If you’re new to XR and struggling with where to start, you can ask for suggestions in our Discord.
