Extended reality has the potential to radically disrupt traditional media. The EU-funded MAX-R project aims to help develop new extended reality (XR) programming by creating new tools for generating, processing and delivering content in real time.
In recent years, virtual reality (VR) has found more commercial applications and larger market share. However, VR still holds great potential to enhance interaction and expression.
Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) uses near-infrared (NIR) sensors to detect and display fluorescent biomarkers indicating the exact location of tumors. But the current cameras and monitors force surgeons to match the images to the body via subjective comparisons.
User content often stimulates antisocial interaction and abuse, representing a threat to vulnerable adults, teenagers and children.
Hybrid Extended reAliTy (HEAT) is born to pave the way for the next-generation distributed experiences by addressing major challenges to make those experiences that up to now could only be in our imagination: being realistically immersed (holo-ported) within real captured omnidirectional and navi
Lifelike 3D images (holograms) have the potential to revolutionize key sectors, such as manufacturing, healthcare, consumer electronics, and creative industries.
In an intriguing historical twist, Joseph von Fraunhofer’s once-secret optics work contrasts with today’s dominance of non-European players in industrial extended reality (XR). With this in mind, the EU-funded INDUX-R project aims to revolutionise Europe’s XR industry.
LUMINOUS aims at the creation of the next generation of Language Augmented XR systems, where natural language-based communication and Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLM) enable adaptation to individual, not predefined user needs and unseen environments.
The transition to Industry 4.0 required the adoption of new robotic and automation tools in its processes. The adoption of such tools requires that workers understand how to use and take advantage of them.
In case of a disaster, 'plan A' is that first responders arrive and save everyone. Until then, everyone needs a 'plan B'.
Surgeons rely on medical images to make critical decisions. Poorly interpreted MRIs and CT scans can result in unnecessary surgeries, more invasive procedures and slower recoveries.
Poor mental health and social isolation are on the rise among young people, exacerbated by the pandemic. Supportive relationships play a crucial role in mental health and addressing loneliness. Schools currently lack evidence-based interventions to foster a sense of belonging.
