Alternate Reality Initiative (ARI) is a student organization at the University of Michigan centered around virtual, augmented, and mixed reality technology. ARI is fostering the next generation of XR innovators by hosting development workshops, discussing industry news, and providing opportunities in the greater XR ecosystem. Through weekly meetings, ARI is fostering the next generation of XR innovators by hosting development workshops, discussing industry news, connecting students to opportunities in the greater XR ecosystem, and providing students with hands-on experience creating XR applications.Founded in January 2018, ARI is the University's most prominent XR club and has received recognition and generous support from other University of Michigan organizations. Our most recent project was creating a wellness app that generates daily and weekly tasks that can be completed to nurture a collection of AR plants. This coming year we have an exciting collaboration with Visit Detroit to create an educational AR app for many of Detroit's landmarks.Visit (www.altrealityinitiative.com) and click on join us to be added to our email list!You can also join our discord to get updates on our meetings https://discord.gg/dvg67Ch!
