An umbrella term that encompasses all immersive technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), blending real and virtual environments for interactive experiences.

XR, which includes virtual, augmented, and mixed realities, opens up immersive experiences but comes with accessibility challenges like motion sickness or sensory overload. To reduce harm, XR needs to be designed with user comfort and inclusivity in mind. From a knowledge stewardship perspective, XR environments must ensure that data collected through immersive experiences is handled securely and ethically, avoiding exploitation of personal or sensitive information.
