From high-production costs to the reluctance of more traditional cultural institutions to embrace it, French XR creation faces many challenges, even though it continues to be in increasing demand and constantly expanding.<\/p>\n

Immersive Spaces intends to serve as a resource for French creators of immersive experiences to understand US market trends and provide French creators and producers with solutions to access it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Villa Albertine team scouted various venues across the US where Villa Albertine residences take place (Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, New Orleans, Miami, Washington, DC, Boston, Chicago, Houston, and Atlanta) that regularly or occasionally host immersive exhibitions.<\/p>\n

Emerging and traditional US and French venues where XR may be exhibited have been analyzed, cataloged, and located, along with a comprehensive list of exhibitors and\u00a0XR studios.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Interactive Map<\/h3>\n

Based on the cities where Villa Albertine has its residency programs\u00a0we looked for venues that regularly or occasionally host immersive exhibitions, as well as spaces that can host XR on a rental basis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We’ve designed an\u00a0interactive map<\/a> in collaboration with Garage Stories to help French XR creators and producers navigate the US XR market.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The map<\/a> includes 310 venues, 53 exhibitors, and 23 festivals. Categories can be selected individually or through a specific geographic area.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n

An Expanding Ecosystem: A Market Study<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In addition to the interactive map, a practical guide <\/strong>to facilitate access to the US market is available. It’s based on research and interviews conducted with French and US producers, cultural institutions, and distributors.<\/p>\n

The guide identifies significant challenges <\/strong>that the XR industry currently faces as well as new market trends <\/strong>and opportunities, both in France and in the US.\u00a0<\/p>\n
