Melbourne XR Industry Meetup: RMIT VXLab x Immerse Australia

Immerse Australia, in partnership with RMIT University, invites you to the Melbourne XR Industry Meetup at RMIT’s Virtual Experiences Laboratory — VXLab.

This special event marks the beginning of a new chapter for what was run as the Melbourne Metaverse community events.

Immerse Australia is now running and hosting the Melbourne-based XR industry events previously run as Melbourne Metaverse Meetups. We thank Amanda Parks for the years she organised and hosted Melbourne Metaverse group meetups.

As Immerse Australia, we will be creating more opportunities for people working in virtual reality, augmented reality, extended reality, spatial computing, immersive media, education, research and emerging technology to connect, share ideas and build capability.

This event will be free to attend thanks to our event Partner, RMIT and will celebrate the convergence of the Melbourne Metaverse community with Immerse Australia’s national XR network.

We warmly invite past members of the Melbourne Metaverse group, Immerse Australia members, students, researchers, developers, creators, educators, startups and industry professionals to attend.

You’ll hear from leading researchers and practitioners, see demonstrations of emerging XR technologies, learn about upcoming industry activity, and connect with others shaping the future of immersive technology in Melbourne and across Australia.

Places are limited for this first event, so early registration is recommended.

Learn about further events run by Immerse Australia and Global events coming to Melbourne such as IEEE VR 2027 Melbourne.

The IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces is the premier international venue for advances in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality.

The 2027 conference will bring together researchers, practitioners, artists, and industry leaders for a week of papers, posters, demos, workshops, tutorials, and community events in Melbourne.
