SIGGRAPH 2026 Dedicates an Immersive Pavilion to Interactive and Spatial Experiences

What happened

The program explores extended reality, interactive environments and immersive techniques, including live performance.

What changes

The space, event or interaction becomes part of the experience itself, rather than serving only as decoration.

Why it matters

Design and technology can create memorable experiences without relying exclusively on a larger advertising budget.

Implications for businesses

A U.S. design team can evaluate an immersive technique against a specific purpose, such as learning, collaboration or artistic expression.

Un Rino’s take

The lesson is not to create a spectacle for its own sake. It is to design an experience people understand, remember and want to share.
