MirageXR vs Voyage AR

Extended Reality (XR) can teach you in minutes all you need to know for complex, knowledge-intensive tasks, such as how to service the nose-wheel of an aeroplane, how to operate an ultrasound machine to obtain a healthcare diagnosis, or how to check and service a self-driving vehicle. MirageXR links with Moodle to augment your reality with a teacher hologram, 3D objects, animations, and many more. MirageXR is both editor and player, so you can create your own XR learning content and share it with your audience.

The app is being developed as part of the Maritime Mile Challenge fund with Hub-In, Belfast City Council and the Maritime Belfast Trust.
