The Mesh Guilds

A collaborative sharing of experience for XR practitioners

The Mesh Guild System gathers XR practitioners into role-oriented guilds. Each guild weaves like-minded XR practitioners (both novices and experts) across the university for synergistic collaborative sharing of experience: successes, challenges, strategies, etc. Mesh Guilds stay abreast of the latest advancements in the craft and prepare students for work upon graduation. The guilds are also a great place for our partners to source talent who will work in AR/VR in a variety of industries and participate through mentorship, workshops and guest-learning sessions.
