SUMMARY:XR
DESCRIPTION:XR\n\nThe Extended Reality (XR) program is a juried exhibition
  within the Experience Hall that showcases Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented
  Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) prototype systems and/or innovative 
 content with off-the-shelf consumer products and software. There will also
  be scheduled presentations for submitters to explain the concepts behind 
 these novel technologies.\nXR includes representative forms such as VR, AR
  and MR. It is a superset which includes the entire spectrum from “the com
 plete real” to “the complete virtual” in the reality–virtuality continuum.

 c and storytelling experiences can be viewed in a VR display theater-like 
 setting!\n\nCubic Gymnastics\n\n"Cubic Gymnastics" is an XR system where u
