+Extended Reality (XR) is a term that encompasses Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and sensory technologies, creating immersive digital experiences that blend the virtual and physical worlds.
+
+The BDSI XR Community aims to establish a collaborative platform for researchers and XR enthusiasts to come together. 
+
+We plan to host regular gatherings and on-site visits where community members will take on data related challenges such as:
+- Analyze user behavior, such as hand movements, gaze tracking, and response times
+- Handling sensor data and neural data in conjunction with events in virtual environments
+- Investigating the impact of sensory feedback (including tactile, odor, and sound)
+- Analysis of eye movements in dynamic visual environments
+- Representing multidimensional data in a 3D space
+
+Our core objective is to use these data-driven activities to advance our understanding of XR technology and contribute to solutions that address societal, cognitive, and environmental challenges using XR applications.
