XR Group Presents at SPIE Photonics West 2026 and Visits Stanford Computational Imaging Lab

We delivered one invited talk (Assoc. Prof. Nakamura) and four oral presentations (PhD students Kusuyama, Miura, Sommart, Takeuchi) at SPIE Photonics West 2026, held in San Francisco, USA.

During our stay, we also visited the Stanford Computational Imaging Lab led by Prof. Gordon Wetzstein, where we discussed potential future research collaborations.
