The RECOVR Symposium unites industry leaders, emerging technologies, and high-energy competition for a one-day immersive experience. Discover how virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) are transforming sports performance, rehabilitation, gaming, healthcare, and beyond.
The morning features lecture-style presentations and expert panels, with limited seating. After lunch, we clear the chairs and the event opens to all attendees to explore XR devices and technologies through hands-on experiences, including mixed reality games, 3D surgical tools, AR gaming and historical re-enactments from our collaborating organizations and startups. Swing for a homerun, return a blazing volley, or watch a game from courtside—XR brings it all to life.
Join us to learn from the experts and see how XR is shaping the future both now and in the long term, try hands-on demos of the latest XR applications and products in an interactive open floor exhibit space and witness Canada’s top VR tennis players compete!
