Mission Statement
Our mission is to foster a community around virtual and augmented reality on campus by providing technologies, mentorship, and specialized hackathons. To capture these goals, XR Club strives to supply the resources for students to develop, the specialized mentorship to gain knowledge, and the supportive culture to produce an innovative mindset. We, as aspiring developers, creatives, artists, entrepreneurs, engineers, and scientists, collaborate on XR Projects, which includes Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality, as well as research XR technology. We are passionate about all things XR and welcome new members with unprecedented access to XR development equipment and expertise.
Teams
At the XR Club, we firmly believe that everyone can bring something to the club that will make it a better place. We encourage our members to contribute by joining our teams. However, we recognize that UMD students are incredibly talented and wear multiple hats and can have changing interests over time as their skill sets and personalities develop. So, we enable club members to contribute to multiple teams!
