Join Interactive Commons (IC) Executive Director Erin Henninger and Faculty Director Mark Griswold along with staff from the IC to learn about CWRUXR (pronounced “Cruiser”) — a new platform that allows users to rapidly prototype in 3-D.

Iterative prototyping is an essential part of design—whether you’re developing a new medical device or a slot machine. CWRUXR offers a suite of digital tools to make 3-D prototyping simple.

The CWRUXR platform takes a new approach to extended reality (XR) development, making it fast and easy for individuals with no coding or limited coding experience to create and experience 3-D content. Additionally, CWRUXR offers added advantages like the ability to create and iterate in real-time, to create shared group experiences together or remotely, and to partner with AI.

During this 1-hr lecture and Q&A, attendees will get an overview of the CWRUXR platform and an introduction to its tools, such as CWRUXR Deck–a no-code content authoring tool for those familiar with PowerPoint, SDKs for coding languages (Python, R, .Net, and MATLAB), a simple model viewer tool, and various plugins for artistic software. Attendees will also learn about CWRUXR’s ability to support shareable holographic experiences for multiple simultaneous hardware endpoints (e.g., the Microsoft HoloLens, Magic Leap, Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, as well as iOS and Android mobile platforms in the same experience.) Finally, attendees will also hear about some of the many applications already running on the CWRUXR platform and being used in teaching and research at CWRU.

The Interactive Commons (IC) at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) was established in 2013 as an innovation lab, where interdisciplinary teams come together to solve complex, non-linear problems to create unique and transformative solutions. The language and tools we use to foster this type of collaboration are often based in advanced visualization technology, such as extended reality, or XR.
