About McGillXR

We are an organization at McGill University that educates, innovates, and leads in extended reality (XR) technologies, including augmented, virtual, and mixed reality.

Our Mission

We aim to foster a community of students who are passionate about learning, experiencing, and sharing resources around extended reality (XR). We hope to bridge the gap between the immersive media industry insiders and McGill students. Through our events and activities, we strive to provide opportunities for students to develop their skills and knowledge in extended reality and related fields. 

Our Vision

We envision an inclusive and collaborative environment where students can share their experiences, learn from each other, and push the boundaries of what is possible in extended reality.
