Zoe Kleinman demonstrates the technology at the Centre for Creative and Immersive XR in Portsmouth
The Centre for Creative and Immersive XR has received more than £5m in funding, including a £3.6m government grant.In this circular green room, people can be videoed in 3D, captured simultaneously by cameras from all angles. The absence of feeling remains an issue in VR but there is some innovation, like the Tesla suit - a kind of wetsuit packed with sensors designed to trigger sensations on the skin, such as the feeling of rain, or wind. There is one at the centre but it's not yet ready for demos, I am politely informed - unless I want to run the risk of feeling like I've had an electric shock if it malfunctions .
It may feel to some industry watchers like extended reality has been on the verge of becoming the next big thing for several years - but never quite cracked it. Early VR headsets were expensive and clunky, and the computer power required to process the huge graphics was beyond average PCs.
