BEYOND TOUCH
An XR Interaction & Design Event
What happens when interaction moves beyond screens, clicks and taps?
BEYOND TOUCH brings together XR developers, interaction designers, creative technologists, founders and builders to explore the next generation of spatial interaction through hands, gaze, voice, AI, environmental context and everything that comes next.

+ more voices joining the conversation soon 👀
We’re curating a mix of perspectives from across XR, spatial design, immersive technology, products and entrepreneurship, with additional panelists to be announced.
At the centre of the conversation:
How should we design interaction when technology can understand not just our input, but our intent, environment and context?
🧪 Then we stop talking and start building.
Explore experimental projects through a Spatial Interaction Peer Review, followed by a hands on interaction hack with one simple brief:
Invent an interaction, not an app.
Experiment with AR, VR, smart glasses, WebXR, spatial computing or whatever helps bring your interaction to life.
The day ends with a prototype showcase and critique, where some of the most interesting interactions are put in front of our guests and community.
