SUMMARY:Extended Reality (XR)
DESCRIPTION:XR\n\nStep into the dynamic realm of Extended Reality (XR) at 
 SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 in Tokyo. XR, comprising augmented (AR), mixed (MR), an
 d virtual reality (VR), blurs the boundaries between the physical and virt
 ual worlds. Delve into the latest advancements in XR technology, research,
  and content creation, offering unparalleled experiences that push the lim
 its of innovation.\nEmbark on an immersive journey through two captivating
  categories: XR Demo and XR Theater. In the XR Demo, witness state-of-the-
 art demonstrations that unveil novel experiences, seamlessly integrating t
 ouch, sound, and other sensory modalities. Engage with groundbreaking appl
 ications and artifacts that showcase the transformative power of XR.\n\nMe
 anwhile, in the XR Theater, experience the magic of immersive cinematic st
 orytelling and narrative exploration. Transport yourself into captivating 
 virtual environments, where rich narratives and stunning visuals come to l
 ife. Whether seated or standing, these experiences promise to captivate yo
 ur senses and ignite your imagination.\n\nAt SIGGRAPH Asia 2024, the XR pr
