Our Approach

Academia-Industry Collaboration

IAITI brings together the academic community and the industry to discuss the latest developments in immersive technology and potential interdisciplinary collaborations, attracting scholars and industry practitioners from around the globe.

VR, AR, XR, Metaverse Technologies

With the growing application of AR, VR, XR and Metaverse technologies, as well as other emergent techs such as AI, Big Data, IoT, 5G, Digital Twin and Blockchain, a comprehensive understanding of their implications and potential impact is needed. IAITI aspires to act as a facilitator for the advancement and understanding of these technologies, encouraging its members and beyond to present, discuss, collaborate and strive.

Established International Body

Having started off as a small community with interests in Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality, IAITI has grown rapidly and is now a well established international body.

Our Project


Major Projects in the XR Industries


Extended Reality (XR) signifies the employment of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, and other technologies such as haptic technology. 

XR is expected to serve as a catalyst in building a more human-centered content ecosystem.
