OnBoardXR’s mission is to nurture cutting-edge applications for live performance in the immersive web. The think tank supports teams and open-source projects through showcase, development, advocacy, research and collaborations.

The initiative began with the 2020 production of the short play, Jettison, named a Finalist for The Producer Guild of America’s Innovation Award for its use of custom code injection in web-based virtual reality to allow three actors in three different cities to perform on the same stage as both web cameras and 3D avatars, surrounded by an embodied audience.

OnBoardXR hosted six residency showcases from 2020-2023 to support the development of over 35 world premiere prototypes in live theater, dance, puppetry, mime, painting, improvisation and more through partnerships and presentations including FIVARS, Mozilla Festival, AWE, PXR, VRNY, and The Polys.

OnBoardXR is recognized as the most prolific, collaborative and impactful webXR initiative in the world.
