The third day started with Qi Sun's talk entitled "Towards Human-Centered XR: Bridging Cognition and Computation” and continued with a session by Diego Gutierrez on improving user experience in VR. The second poster and demo session were followed by the final hands-on session of the event.

The final day included an industry session with a talk by Gloria Touchard from Nokia and the last keynote by Marianna Obrist, who highlighted the power of smell in XR experiences. The presentation of the developed projects concluded this intense and fruitful edition of the XRTX Summer School.
