What's the future of marketing and XR research? We believe it's immersive, interactive, and spatial. 💡
That's why we were so excited to be at the International XR-Metaverse Conference 2025, where our research assistant Patrick presented our project: The Spatial Data Platform.
Imagine a platform where researchers can:
✅ Use pre-built environments or create completely custom ones.
✅ Design complex study flows with ease.
✅ Conduct immersive studies with single or multiple participants.
✅ Gather rich spatial data like never before.
The 2025 EAWOP conference in Prague brought together researchers from across Europe to discuss pressing questions in work and organizational psychology.
