SPIE AR | VR | MR is the optics and photonics conference for extended reality hardware, running in early 2027 in San Francisco as part of SPIE Photonics West. Themed around powering immersive worlds with advanced optical design, the conference invites researchers and engineers to present developments in optical systems for next-generation smart glasses and head-mounted displays. Technical sessions span waveguide and display architectures, three-dimensional computer vision and perception, optical sensors for six-degree-of-freedom head tracking and SLAM relocalisation, eye tracking, and the manufacturing constraints that govern consumer XR hardware. Unlike XR events focused on content or commercial applications, this is a hardware and physics venue where display and sensing research is presented alongside the industry teams building shipping devices. Attendees gain peer-reviewed results from optics laboratories, an exhibition of photonics components and metrology equipment, and contact with the specialist supply chain behind AR and VR products. For engineers working on immersive display hardware, it is the field's key technical conference.
