XR Landscape Austria is a non-profit project that serves as an ecosystem map, listing organizations, startups, companies, and research institutions active in the XR (Extended Reality) field in Austria.

The project is authored and maintained by Matthias Grabner and Clemens Wasner, with support from AI Austria.

The goal is to shed light on the XR ecosystem in Austria, thereby supporting its development and adoption for the benefit of society and the economy.

XR Landscape Austria kicked off its journey as "AR / VR Landscape Austria," first appearing on the blog of EnliteAI on February 2nd, 2018 (source). Its relevance was promptly acknowledged by Der Brutkasten, Austria's key startup and technology media outlet, which featured it on April 18th, 2018 (source).

The platform has since been regularly updated to reflect the latest trends and participants in Austria's XR ecosystem. It has received mentions in various pivotal reports, such as the "Extended Reality (XR: AR, MR, VR) - Plattform Industrie 4.0" report (source), the Digital Landscape für die Bauwirtschaft by KMU Forschung Austria, and the Visual Computing 2021 report by Vienna Business Agency (source).

This ongoing narrative underlines XR Landscape Austria's commitment to fostering the development and broad adoption of XR technologies, both for the benefit of Austria's economy and society at large.

XR is an umbrella term that includes Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR). It focuses on creating immersive environments through various technologies.
