Extended Reality (XR) in Texas

As one of the leading states in the nation for video game development, it's no wonder that Texas is on the forefront of the XR movement. XR covers virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). With award-winning games such as Owlchemy Labs' Vacation Simulator, Playful Studio's Lucky’s Tale, Twisted Pixel's Wilson’s Heart  and even more on the horizon, the Lone Star State is proving to be a hub of XR talent and innovation. If you have questions regarding the growing XR community in Texas, contact our office.

“By 2022, the market size of augmented and virtual reality is expected to surge [in the United States] – it will increase eightfold as compared to 2018, amounting to $209 billion.” - Statista
