National XR Day 2025

Wilco Boode

While our own physical world is great, sometimes you want something extra, something that is not really possible within the traditional realm of reality. It is my passion to explore how we can enrich our own reality with virtual elements, creating experiences that would not be possible without new immersive technology.
I believe that this technology has opportunities to create a more enjoyable and enriching experience out of both traditional and new activities. Theater could be interactive and have incredible effects, boring data can become fun and collaborative, and presentations can bring you the information in visual and easy to comprehend fashions.
My fire is further kindled by publicly available and shared platforms. I am a hard believer in Open Source, EU products, and products that share their knowledge with the world.
If you are interested in the topics of mixed reality, digitally enriched experiences, and open source, then feel free to reach out!

Mixed Reality meets geospatial data: Exploring a new era of immersive collaborative planning
Wilco Boode

Physical maps had a crucial role when planning human activities, we aim to bring this experience into the 21st century by projecting them in a shared space using MR headsets. We tap into a set of GIS data to visualize and interact with data from a variety of sea basins. Using virtual tools to explore how MR can be used for collaboration in the planning of marine environments.
