An Overview of the 1st International Workshop on Spatial Memory in XR: The Future of Memory Capture and Replay Through XR and AI (XRMemory)

The 1st International Workshop on Spatial Memory in eXtended Reality (XRMemory) aims to explore and advance technologies that enable immersive, memory-rich experiences, allowing users to revisit moments as if they were truly back in those spaces. While photos and videos have traditionally served this purpose, advancements in Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and spatial computing now enable far more realistic and immersive memory recall. This workshop investigates how AI and XR technologies can be harnessed to record, generate, and recall user experiences in transformative ways. By enabling individuals to relive their own memories or immerse themselves in others’ experiences as if physically present, it seeks to open new avenues for shared connections that transcend the limitations of time and space.
