ore the impacts of specific XR technologies on education and research by p
roviding real world examples implemented by the Toronto Metropolitan Unive
rsity (TMU) Library. These technologies include location based AR (Augment
ed Reality)\, volumetric video capture\, holographic displays\, and 360 VR
(Virtual Reality) Environments. We will also explain each methodology tha
t was used\, and best practices for each technology.

DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey Demaine (McMaster University)\n\nThe Microsoft Academic
Graph (MAG) has been shut down\, but the “MAGic” continues. This work
shop will provide a hands-on demonstration of how to leverage the API of t
he new OpenAlex database (which builds upon the MAG) from within an R scri
pt using the new openalexR package\, then to combine the results with the
“Small Teams” dataset (lingfeiwu.github.io/smallTeams/). By combining
the results\, the most disruptive publications from a given university can
be identified. This process will be demonstrated live\, and the code will
be provided so that you can try this at your institution.
