How can designers leverage the affordances of technological networks and immersive environments to improve geographically dispersed collaboration and communication?
The Hybrid Lab research project deploys a networked XR (eXtended Reality) environment in which a series of design build challenges is executed. The environment is used not only as a digital twin (for virtual scouting and in situ testing of models) but also as a real-time platform for distanced collaboration between the researchers, designers and clients.

Distributed, Immersive, Collaborative, Real-Time Design
This research project is led by the Trans Realties Lab of Design Academy Eindhoven in partnership with Muthesius, The New Raw, UAU project and High Tech Campus. Supported in part by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme.
The findings of the Hybrid Lab research project are expected to be equally applicable to many areas of design, engineering and other fields of practice, ones where the ability to share and collaborate in networked immersive environments with 3D/4D visualisations across realities is a burgeoning requirement. Not only can such environments offer more frequent interaction between partners that may not have otherwise collaborated, they also offer solutions to increasing distributed collaboration without the necessity for greater travel and subsequent carbon footprint.
