“Because we are a global, multidisciplinary community of changemakers committed to disrupting structural inequality, we are uniquely positioned to fill a much needed gap and lead on the exploration of the promise, potential and implications of AR/VR inside and outside the Atlantic Fellows community.”
Wilneida Negron Atlantic Fellow for Racial Equity
Within the context of the climate emergency and a physical world that is increasingly digital, Atlantic Fellowship has placed a strategic focus on immersive technologies and are delighted to have built an XR Lab in Rhodes House. We believe that as our community grows, we have a responsibility to create and explore innovative ways to be meaningfully together when we are physically apart and offer our community the infrastructure to use XR technologies to strengthen their equity work, as well as opportunities to drive equitable change in this area. The XR Lab will support our long-term commitment to lowering carbon emissions by reducing global travel, without compromising the personal connection that fuels our equity work.
Explore the Augmented Artifact, a project co-created by Global Atlantic Fellows who have each completed one of the seven equity-focussed programs, uses phone-based augmented reality to strengthen community and champion creative, collective experience.
