As a Karp Library Fellow for the University of Rochester’s hub for extended reality technology, Studio X, I conducted research on the applications and potential that XR (extended reality) technology offers to the humanities and humanistic social sciences during the spring 2021 semester. My research involved three phases: finding pre-existing use cases, holding a focus group with Learning Initiatives Librarians, and conducting a student survey. From these three phases of research, I curated a range of XR use cases across humanities and humanistic social science fields and developed targeted engagement strategies for these users, which I implemented in the fall of 2021. From this, I began to plan an Intro to XR workshop that could be tailored for any group who wanted to learn about these amazing technologies.
