The Bavarian Government has decided to establish 3 new XR HUBs in Bavaria for the end of 2019. With those extended reality centers the Bavarian state wants to foster and support the development in AR and VR. According to the state minister for digitization, Judith Gerlach (CSU), a total amount of 1.5 million EURO has been provided by the Bayerische Landtag. The aim of those HUBs and the statutory support is to strengthen the awareness for Virtual and Augmented Reality “made in Bavaria” and thus to establish it as a national and international well-known brand.
