While the general public may accept thin, disposable devices, industry demands unwavering durability. This requirement for repairability, a long-standing cornerstone of virtual reality headsets, is the essential bridge to credible professional adoption. Beyond the hardware, data sovereignty remains the major hurdle. Between intrusive cloud AI and privacy needs, this session explores how openness and robustness will transform AR glasses into sustainable, sovereign, and finally repairable industrial assets.<\/p>\n<\/div><p class=\"lv-cp__label\">Speakers<\/p><ul class=\"lv-cp__speakers\"><li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laval-virtual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Xavier-BONJOUR-224x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><div><strong>Xavier BONJOUR<\/strong><span>Partnerships &amp;

But the evidence is buried, fragmented, and hard to track. That means sceptical decision-makers, duplicated effort, and a widening gap between the technologies' impact and what media headlines suggest. In this talk, Jeremy proposes XRHQ as a solution: a free, living library of immersive technology in action across every industry worldwide. By combining automated AI discovery with curated human contributions, XRHQ aims to create the most comprehensive, up-to-date evidence base of immersive impact. He'll share what motivated him to build it, what makes it different, and his vision for the future. Includes a live demo of the platform and a chance to be the first to access it.<\/p>\n<\/div><p class=\"lv-cp__label\">Speakers<\/p><ul class=\"lv-cp__speakers\"><li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laval-virtual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Jeremy-DALTON-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><div><strong>Jeremy DALTON<\/strong><span>Founder \u00b7 XRHQ<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/article><\/div><div class=\"lv-cp__day\" role=\"tabpanel\" data-day=\"2026-04-10\" hidden><article class=\"lv-cp__session\"><div class=\"lv-cp__head\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lv-cp__img\" src=\"https:\/\/laval-virtual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/sante.png\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><div class=\"lv-cp__intro\"><span class=\"lv-cp__time\">10:00 am \u2013 12:30 pm<\/span><h3 class=\"lv-cp__title\">Health<\/h3><p class=\"lv-cp__desc\">This session will highlight concrete initiatives and clinical studies demonstrating the real impact of these technologies on patients.<\/p><a class=\"lv-cp__more\" href=\"https:\/\/laval-virtual.com\/en\/conference_cycle\/health\/\">See the session<\/a><\/div><\/div><ul class=\"lv-cp__confs\"><li class=\"lv-cp__conf\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"lv-cp__open\"><span class=\"lv-cp__ctime\">10:00 am<\/span><span class=\"lv-cp__ctitle\">XR in health has grown up: evidence, regulation, and new business horizons<\/span><span class=\"lv-cp__faces\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laval-virtual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Pietro-CIPRESSO-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Pietro CIPRESSO\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"lv-cp__names\">Pietro CIPRESSO<\/span><span class=\"lv-cp__plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/button><div class=\"lv-cp__detail\" hidden><span class=\"lv-cp__time\">10:00 am \u2013 10:25 am \u00b7 Health<\/span><h3>XR in health has grown up: evidence, regulation, and new business horizons<\/h3><p class=\"lv-cp__label\">Speakers<\/p><ul class=\"lv-cp__speakers\"><li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laval-virtual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Pietro-CIPRESSO.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><div><strong>Pietro CIPRESSO<\/strong><span>Associate Professor in Psychometrics \u00b7 University of Turin<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/li><li class=\"lv-cp__conf\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"lv-cp__open\"><span class=\"lv-cp__ctime\">10:30 am<\/span><span class=\"lv-cp__ctitle\">XR in mental health: beyond the cure, fixing the care<\/span><span class=\"lv-cp__faces\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laval-virtual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Gloria-SIMONCINI-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Gloria SIMONCINI\" loading=\"lazy\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laval-virtual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Malcolm-BARNES-1-150x150.png\" alt=\"Malcolm BARNES\" loading=\"lazy\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laval-virtual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Philippe-CARREZ-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"Philippe CARREZ\" loading=\"lazy\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laval-virtual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Marie-DANDOIS-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"Marie DANDOIS\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"lv-cp__names\">Gloria SIMONCINI, Malcolm BARNES, Philippe CARREZ, Marie DANDOIS<\/span><span class=\"lv-cp__plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/button><div class=\"lv-cp__detail\" hidden><span class=\"lv-cp__time\">10:30 am \u2013 11:00 am \u00b7 Health<\/span><h3>XR in mental health: beyond the cure, fixing the care<\/h3><div class=\"lv-cp__text\"><p>The clinical evidence is clear: XR is a powerful therapeutic tool.
