Best XR Project - SXSW Sydney 2024! We’ve just returned from an amazing week at SXSW Sydney 2024, where we proudly showcased our latest original production, Time After Time – RONE, to thousands of attendees. We also walked away with the award for Best XR Project! Here are a few of our other highlights; 1️⃣ Experiencing the incredible talent and innovation at the XR showcase and across the tech and innovation floor. Surprises were everywhere, and it’s exciting to see the future of the industry unfold. 2️⃣ Watching people light up as they immersed themselves in our experience, finishing with big smiles after removing the headset. Seeing that joy firsthand is truly one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. 3️⃣ Hearing our co-founder & CEO, Trent Clews-de Castella , share insights during the ‘Has Big Tech Spin Drowned Out the Metaverse?’ panel alongside fellow members of the Australian Metaverse Advisory Council . SXSW Sydney offers a fantastic platform for these engaging discussions. 4️⃣ Soaking up the sounds of some of Australia’s most talented musicians during the festival. The live music was incredible! 5️⃣ Feeling the energy as Sydney came alive for this special event. With the theme ‘The Future Belongs to the Curious,’ it was inspiring to witness the creativity and passion on full display!

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉 Julaymba has been named a finalist in the Sustainability, Environment & Climate - Digital & Innovative Experiences category at this year's The Anthem Awards ! We're over the moon to receive this recognition for an experience that holds such a special place in our hearts. From the very start, Julaymba was created out of a desire to connect people with our planet by sharing the profound relationship between our First Nations Peoples and nature. Through the wisdom and stories of the Eastern Kuku Yalanji people, the experience explores the rich concept of Caring for Country—a practice that has been lovingly passed down through generations. As Richard Burchill beautifully puts it: "If we take care of the land, it takes care of us." The sentiment serves as a powerful reminder of the reciprocal relationship between humanity and the natural world and the care we must provide for it. This is why we would greatly appreciate your support in helping us win this award!

Time After Time is going to SXSW Sydney! We're so excited to be presenting our newest Mixed Reality production at the festival's XR showcase. Since 2016, PHORIA has been digitally preserving the work of renowned Melbourne street artist RONE, starting with his debut solo show, Empty. Our collaboration has evolved through projects like Antecedent—an AR activation that brought a new dimension to RONE’s sold-out Empire exhibition—and now culminates in this groundbreaking experience. By blending the physical and digital worlds, Time After Time reimagines RONE’s award-winning Time exhibition, held at Flinders Street Station between October 2022 and April 2023. By enabling audiences to experience RONE's work long after the original exhibition has ended, this project signals the future of how we can experience art. Find more information about Time After Time at the link below and come experience it for yourself on the Tech & Innovation floor at SXSW Sydney this week. https://bit.ly/4dW37Cg #SXSWSydney2024 #ImmersiveExperience #XR #MixedReality #Tech

Do your customers value experiences as much as products? Create engaging in-store experiences that connect with customers on multiple levels, by using immersive retail design. This approach boosts organic promotion as shoppers naturally share unique experiences on social media. Brands who embrace storytelling opportunities, showcasing their heritage and values through immersive experiences, resonate with their customers on a more personal level. 💡 Why not try out new retail concepts like pop-up spaces and experiential showrooms to test fresh ideas and generate excitement in new or key markets? BONUS: Data-driven insights and interactive tech can help retailers spot trends early and adjust strategies to stay ahead. The Nike X Foot Locker Lab Vertical Jump (developed by PHORIA ) was installed in our Foot Locker Chadstone project. The interactive experience quickly drew fans and participants ready to accept the challenge. As customers try on new shoes, they can jump and measure their vertical elevation and record their performance in the system. This investment in the store fit out immediately delivered a spike in conversions. The Kinect Sensor and Jump Lab System was developed by the clever team at PHORIA you can watch the case study HERE: https://lnkd.in/guTeeW63 #immersivedesign #retaildesign #customerengagement #immersiveretail #shoppingcentre #interactiveretail #brandloyalty #conversion

On Tuesday we had the pleasure of hosting a Lunch & Learn session with Steven Kounnas from PHORIA and Sam Granleese from JigSpace , where they shared what they've been working on in #XR and #AR . Phoria is in immersive tech studio working to transform human experiences and augment intelligent environments with Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality (VR/AR/MR/XR) technology. Next recently had the opportunity to work with Phoria on our Digital Twin project. JigSpace makes 3D knowledge and content accessible through interactive augmented reality platforms, changing the way we create, learn, and visualise complex systems. Here are the key highlights from the session: Innovative XR/AR Tech: Phoria and JigSpace showcased digital tools that are set to redefine what's possible in approaching industry problems, particularly within the plumbing and trades industries. Empowering the Future Tradie: From hands-on training tools to virtual environments, the future tradie will be equipped with immersive learning experiences that will uplift skills, safety, and efficiency on the job. Shaping the Industry’s Future: This tech opens up possibilities for the development of digital tools that will not only elevate industry standards but also support the growing need for innovative, accessible training solutions. Thanks again to Steven and Sam for taking us through what they get up to, and for sharing their knowledge about XR and AR, and what that could mean for the future of Reece and the industry! #XR #AR #Innovation #FutureTradie #LunchAndLearn #Phoria #JigSpace #ReeceGroup #Next

Highlights from day 1 of Meta Connect 2024! Day 1 at Meta Connect 2024 brought some big and exciting announcements. Here are our top highlights: ⚪ Quest 3S headset: With its affordability and advanced mixed reality capabilities, the 3S marks a shift in the market, making high-quality immersive media accessible to a broader global audience. ⚪ Orion AR glasses: Positioned as a way to integrate augmented reality into our daily lives, the glasses look to achieve Meta's north star of 'a product combining the convenience and immediacy of wearables with a large display, high-bandwidth input and contextualised AI in a form that people feel comfortable wearing in their daily lives.' ⚪ AI advancements – Llama 3.2: With multimodal capabilities, Llama 3.2 brings enhanced generative AI models to mobile devices. These advancements will help build more interactive and immersive experiences by integrating both vision and language in real-time. ⚪ “Be My Eyes” feature: Meta’s partnership with “Be My Eyes” introduced real-time AI support for visually impaired individuals, underscoring the importance of inclusivity in tech development. We’re particularly excited about the Quest 3S here. This more affordable headset is a pivotal step toward bringing immersive experiences to a much wider audience. With this shift, we can see a future where virtual and mixed reality is no longer niche but part of everyday life, from entertainment and storytelling to tourism and beyond. For us, this also has exciting implications as we start to see our productions like Julaymba make an impact in the education space. The democratisation of immersive tech through devices like the Quest 3S means that immersive learning will be accessible to more schools and institutions, allowing students to engage with culture and history in powerful, hands-on ways. While affordability opens the door to mass adoption, the integration of AI tools like Llama 3.2, and Meta's new translation tools will help extend the reach of these experiences, making them accessible in multiple languages and allowing even deeper engagement with global audiences. We’re really excited about this shift and to bring immersive storytelling to more people than ever! #MetaConnect2024 #Quest3S #ImmersiveTech #MixedReality #Education #AI #AIinTech

I'm excited to share some great news today - we've just launched our second immersive experience for the Apple Vision Pro!
