Overview
We are approaching a moment where MR is poised to become a new standard of reality: users may switch between full VR, passthrough MR, and the physical world as part of day-to-day routines. Broad adoption demands onboarding strategies that work for people with diverse backgrounds — including generational differences, cultural contexts, disabilities, and neurodivergence.
Key questions
- Seamless transitions: How can moving between reality and virtuality become intuitive and comfortable?
- Inclusive onboarding: What interaction patterns support first-time adopters and underrepresented groups?
- Everyday MR: How do we design for routines like commuting, healthcare, education, or home activities?
What to expect
- Short framing insights and guided discussion
- Lightning presentations of accepted contributions
- Poster/demo-style prototype sharing
- Breakout group co-design and synthesis of principles
Why now
As MR becomes more socially visible and physically embedded (e.g., wearables, shared spaces, public deployments), designers will need patterns for transitions that are safe, comprehensible, and culturally sensitive — not just "cool".
