Espacio XR is committed to innovation and society’s digital transformation. It brings the market’s Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality solutions to the wider public.

The showroom is a didactic, dynamic, permanent and free space which works in collaboration with the cream of the XR ecosystem from both Spain and farther afield. Through this collaboration, the Space supports and promotes Spanish talent, raising the profile of companies and professionals in the sector, who provide their devices and content so we can offer visitors the best possible experience.

We at Espacio XR are grateful to all of the companies involved in this great project for their cooperation and trust, and in particular to The App Date, the company in charge of managing it.

Thoroughly convinced by the possibilities that this technology holds, Espacio XR was launched in 2016 to share them with the wider public. Four years on, more than 60,000 people and 900 organizations have come to the Space to test, enjoy and better understand all this technology has to offer. This is a turning point in how we communicate and access information.

In addition to the goal of dissemination, this ever-evolving project meets another of the key goals of Fundación Telefónica: education.

To that end, Espacio XR devotes mornings from Wednesday to Friday to personalized visits for education centers (high schools, universities…). These visits focus on allowing students to experience the possibilities and opportunities of this technology for their employability and acquisition of knew skills, and on acquainting teaching faculty with this tool for their daily work.

The project is more alive than ever and remains committed to providing the latest experiences and quality devices, which is why we continue to add more brands and devices to our Space. From HTC, Samsung and PlayStation, to Oculus, Google, Microsoft (Hololens), Magic Leap, Lenovo, ASUS, PICO, AMD, Medion and Vuzix, among others And new additions will join our collection as they appear on the market.

In 2020 we will also be showcasing platforms and movement systems that will only be in the Space for a limited period. Some of the devices that have come through the space over the last four years include Virtuix Omni, Katwalk, the Woolax relaxing sofa, the Xtrematic platform and PlayStation’s driving system, among others.

And as you would expect, we will continue to work with major producers, particularly in Spain, as well as scouring the international circuit to provide the best possible experiences. This way we provide a platform for the huge creative talent of Spain’s companies and professionals, offering a varied range of content of the highest quality, generated with different techniques and using some of the most exciting and interesting narratives that chime with the goal of visiting the Space.

We will also continue to work with a number of institutions, as we have since we first began four years ago. One of the most highly anticipated events is the second XR Fest, organized in collaboration with the British Council. Following last year’s resounding success it will be back this year with even more professionals from the sector and more exclusive experiences. We will also be playing host to the Cine por Mujeres Festival and other tailored cultural content throughout the year.

Stay tuned to our website and social media for all the latest updates.

Travel through time and space to new worlds and interact with new realities around you.

Espacio XR continues to offer Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality experiences with the market’s latest devices.

We have a broad range of Virtual Reality devices: Samsung Gear, glasses connected to a smartphone; devices connected to computers such as the HTC and Oculus, global leaders in VR; the PlayStation VR, and finally standalone glasses such as Oculus Go, Oculus Quest, PICO Neo, PICO G2 and Lenovo Mirage Solo.

Mixed Reality is present too, with two major brands: Microsoft and Magic Leap.

And there’s also space in our showroom for Augmented Reality, which is why the visit also includes examples such as ARKit and a tablet and other devices such as ARCore and an ASUS Zenfone telephone and Vuzix glasses, among others.

All of these devices, and other new additions which will make their appearance in 2020, open a door to interactive experiences for users.

Naturally, we still have the Tu cuento en la cocina experience, an augmented reality app developed by Telefónica in collaboration with Ferrán Adriá and Disney, available for Android and iOS.
