Thank you for joining us for RLab Well on June 4 and 5.

The 1.5-day event included over 25 speakers with expertise in spatial computing and future interfaces applied in healthcare, medicine and wellness. With 22 demos to explore and a full program of keynotes, lightning talks, and breakout sessions, we hope this event provided a useful space for collaboration, inspiration and cross-pollination of ideas.

We would appreciate if you would take a moment to fill out a quick four-question feedback form about your experience at RLab Well. You can access the form at the link below.

We ended the event with a participatory design workshop to collect ideas to inform RLab's activities in the healthcare space and future programming for RLab Well. We are synthesizing your input and will report out on plans for this community in the next edition of the RLab Well newsletter, coming at the end of June.

In the meantime, keep an eye out for the weekly RLab newsletter – a roundup of news, events, and opportunities in VR, AR and other immersive tech.

- Justin Hendrix, Executive Director, RLab
