From 9th -11th December 2024, Eirmersive is bringing our first delegation to Stereopsia 2024 - "Europe’s foremost XR event" in Brussels. Eirmersive centrally coordinated the delegation between our members, Skillnet and Enterprise Ireland. We are looking forward to having our first ever Eirmersive booth at an international conference, and putting Ireland on the map as a player on the global stage. We have several member companies attending – Volograms, Imvizar, IMVA, The Immersive Agency along with several other members providing demonstrations that will be hosted at the Eirmersive stand, such as HoloToyz, Emagine, VIVERSE and Innovision. We are delighted that Irish members of the TRANSMIXR EU project will also be presenting at Stereopsia.

We’re grateful to Business Post journalist Alex Meehan for talking to Eirmersive when writing about the Augmented Reality side of our industry and some of our members in November issue of Connected Magazine.

"We've been through the hype-cycle now with these technologies. We're long past the point of showing our friends AR apps as novelties on our phones," said Eirmersive Interim-CEO Camille Donegan. "Ten years into this industry, it's about delivering real value in ways that are technology agnostic. The use cases for mixed reality and augmented reality as so compelling, they're impossible to ignore. They're fantastic to work with using today's technology and they're only going to get better."

It was a pleasure for Eirmersive to moderate the Wednesday evening keynote event at Irish Design Week.

In collaboration IMIRT - The Irish Game Makers Association, and under the Irish Design Week theme of 'Imagination for Opportunity' the conversation with Liz Rosenthal, Colum Slevin & Marcel Twohig highlighted the opportunities that exist for people in the experience design sector.

Eirmersive has a strong focus on the skills side of our sector. An important element of that is promoting and supporting the adoption of immersive technologies across the broad spectrum of education. As such we were truly honoured to have the opportunity in 2024 to convene a group of visionary educators drawn from every level of education in Ireland, including primary, secondary, tertiary, and further education as well as representatives from the private sector.

We'd like to thank the members of the Working Group who all gave so generously of their time. We would also like to acknowledge the support of Meta without whom this body of work would not have been possible. And we’d like to express our sincere gratitude to the Minister of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science - Patrick O'Donovan, TD - for kindly, and enthusiastically receiving the report.

The School of Communications at DCU continues its Public Seminars series over four weeks in November and Eirmersive’s Camille Donegan is delighted to join the speakers on Thursday 7th November, to “look beyond the market trends, the hype and the ongoing shifts in immersive technology devices,… to discuss the social impact of Virtual-, Augmented-, and Mixed-Reality (VR, AR, & MR) in Ireland, through perspectives from industry, academia, local authorities and practitioners.”

The seminar will “also address the future potential of immersive technologies and the obstacles and challenges towards expanding its reach and scope in the Irish context."

On Episode 70 of the iPropertyRadio podcast we took the Proptech Hot Seat to speak with Carol Tallon about Ireland’s growing immersive technology sector and our recent membership launch.

Carol also visited the Walton Institute in Waterford to meet with Stephen Barnes and Ryan McCloskey who demo’d some of the latest immersive technologies in the lab and spoke about industry applications.
