XR Creative Labs (XRc) are integrated facilities based at UCA Farnham, bringing together a full suite of the latest immersive and Extended Reality (XR) technologies.

Open to local businesses, as well as students and academics from across the university, we aim to make XR more accessible to all. From training solutions to immersive art, we provide support for both practical and research projects.

As well as equipping our graduates with highly sought-after skills in a rapidly evolving field, the XRc is packed with new and emerging technologies that support organisations to explore the benefits of XR.
