About

The Meaningful XR conference is a product of serendipity, with roots in the Meaningful Play conference hosted at Michigan State University (MSU) since 2008, the SPARTIE Lab at MSU, and the NSF-funded Beyond Meet Space project team.  We are grateful to MSU's Department of Media & Information, Stanford's Department of Communication, Professor Jeremy Bailenson and his Virtual Human Interaction Lab, the Journal of Media Psychology, and the many co-organizers and committee members who are all working to make this event happen. We are also deeply grateful to our sponsors whose financial support make it possible to bring out an amazing lineup of keynote speakers and also to help students travel to the conference. 

Thank you for your interest and for potentially being a part of the Meaningful XR community (est. 2024!).
