Leiden University is offering a conference on how Extended Reality (XR) technologies are reshaping our interactions with digital media, demanding new ways of thinking about perception, embodiment, and sensory engagement.
This symposium brings together an interdisciplinary group of researchers, artists, and scholars to examine how XR technologies activate gesture, movement, and attention in unique ways. We will explore how these immersive experiences engage our bodies in new perceptual frameworks, facilitating a nuanced understanding of XR’s physiological and experiential impact on users.
By focusing on Gesture, Movement, and Attention, we will delve into how XR tools and narratives guide our sensory interpretations, exploring both intentional and spontaneous movements within XR media. This event will encourage cross-disciplinary conversations, linking insights from art, media, psychology, and digital technology.
