🏛️ About

The Tel Aviv University Center of Virtual & Augmented Reality is a production and design studio that provides XR services to academic researchers and educators. We bridge the gap between science and real-time 3D technologies, from the initial concept to a fully operational experiment.

We are a small group of people that are passionate about their crafts, aiming to provide industry-standard XR production services for academic purposes. We design, code, and operate experiments, simulations and classes, tailored for our clients needs.

Our operational arena - 500 square meters area, equipped with top tier XR equipment (headsets, motion capture and tracking devices) for free locomotion XR experiences.

🎯 Industry-standard practices

We take our work seriously and strive for professionalism by:

• Continuously improving our experiences and products for first-time users.
• Building an internal library of assets, includes intuitive interactions, data collection and exporting systems, generative art and more.
• Researching and experimenting with XR as a medium:
  • Learn how to use hand, eye, face, and physical object tracking for novel input methods and feedback.
  • Understand when, why, and how to slide on the XR scale, switching from VR to AR as needed.
  • Explore how to use local multiplayer functionality to enhance and create new types of shared experiences.
