EuroXR 2026 in Valencia

Paper on an AR app about the Bamberg witch trials

At EuroXR 2026 in Valencia (November 3–6), we had the opportunity to present our paper, “Designing an Urban Witch Trial AR Tour and Evaluating Its Knowledge Transfer and User Acceptance.” Numerous presentations addressed a wide range of topics related to XR, VR, and AR. The conference, which ran alongside the annual Virtual Worlds Partnership (VWP) forum and the NEM Summit, featured various sessions offering insights into and discussions on current EU projects.

In our study, we present an AR application that transforms a traditional city tour—focused on the witch trials in Bamberg—into an augmented reality experience. Through a comprehensive user study, we examined technology acceptance, knowledge acquisition, and user preferences regarding urban exploration. 👉 Click here to access the publication.

Beyond the academic program, the conference provided a fantastic opportunity to connect with other professionals in the XR field, leading to engaging and in-depth exchanges. And, of course, there was plenty of time outside the official agenda to explore the city and sample some local delicacies!
