Immersion at Scale: Where LBE Fits in the XR Market:
A Webinar Presentation with Bob Cooney of Lexra.org on the past/ present and future of Location based XR Entertainment and Experiences. With Meta, Snap, Google and others now selling AR - XR glasses as well as XR HMDs its a great time to learn more about how XR outside of the home is offering new opportunities in computer graphics and tech/media jobs.
Hosted by LA SIGGRAPH Vice Chair Larry Rosenthal.
Join CG Pro’s Edward Dawson-Taylor and instructor John Waynick on a tour of Unreal Engine highlighting new capabilities in the most recent releases. Version 5.6 introduced improvements to rendering, world building, animation, procedural workflows, MetaHumans, physics and more. Version 5.7 is expected to add Nanite Foliage allowing detailed, fully geometric trees and foliage that voxelizes at a distance, plus an improved World Partition for smoother open-world streaming. This is an interactive online presentation with live demonstrations and ample time for Q&A. Edd is Co-Founder of CG Pro, a Gold Unreal Authorized Training Center.
Celebrate the end of the year with good food, great company, and some awesome demos!

On January 14, 2026, at 8:00 pm Eastern, the ACM SIGGRAPH Pioneers will present the next in our year-round series of panels on topics of importance to the computer graphics and interactive techniques communities.
Panelists have been selected to provide a diverse overview on how computer graphics, 3D printing, AR, VR and AI have evolved and are being used today in the medical profession. Topics vary from the earliest work in molecular visualization to creating animation for surgical techniques for Abbot, Medtronic, and Johnson & Johnson using software like Maya, ZBrush, V-Ray and Unreal, to the 3D design and manufacture of prosthetic limbs, to developing video games for physical therapy, interactive training for nurses, and AI-powered immersive platforms and technical standards for XR in healthcare.
The Panel is open to all ACM/SIGGRAPH Pioneers and their associates, you can register at this zoom link:
