Becoming the first black woman to get a Masters Degree in Extended Reality Technologies from Arizona State University

VRARA Member Tochi Nwosu made history as the first Black woman to earn a Master's degree in Extended Reality Technologies from Arizona State University's MIX Center.

Extended Reality (XR) includes Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). Tochi graduated in 2024 from the first class of the MIX Center at ASU. Her achievement is significant for underrepresented groups in the XR industry, emphasizing the importance of diversity in shaping the future of this innovative technology. An inclusive XR industry encourages a wider range of ideas and experiences, resulting in applications that cater to a broader audience and address a greater variety of challenges.

Congratulations Tochi!
