The Future of XR Advisory Council

The Future of XR Advisory Council (XRAC), is an independent advisory council focused on defining the XR ecosystem and informing the ongoing work of the XR Association.

Led by a steering committee of top executives at industry-leading companies as well as representatives from experts from civil society, academia, and former government officials, the council will act as a forum where we can all collectively achieve a shared vision, lexicon, and set of values for the future of the XR industry. 

Based on the input and advice of the XRAC, the XR Association will work with its membership to build best practices and frameworks that advance the responsible development and adoption of XR technologies.
