EU Projects

In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, the collaboration between humans and machines poses a pressing challenge to the modern workforce.

In recent years, there has been a surge in tactile technologies offering a range of haptic sensory experiences. However, virtual reality systems still struggle to deliver convincing tactile sensations for 3D interaction.

AccessVR will fill the gap in the scientific knowledge on how people with physical disability – particularly people with limited upper- and lower body mobility – access and experience Virtual Reality (VR) technology.

The BrainCode project proposes novel compression techniques for extended reality (XR) data which are energy efficient while ensuring a reconstruction quality that satisfies the human visual semantic perception.

Virtual reality (VR) is creating new opportunities to experience events in immersive and creative ways. In the realm of art and artistic communities, VR can enhance interaction and somatic participation between artists and communities from different cultural backgrounds.

Video conferencing and mixed reality are both forms of communication but based on very different technologies. Video conferencing does not provide an in-person feel to meetings and has several other drawbacks.

Recent global developments have sparked a seismic shift in how organisations define their workspaces.

Organisations across the sectors significantly benefit from digital transformation to support evolving business models, services and customer experience.

The COVID-19 pandemic placed students and teachers online. Now the question is how to improve and enhance the quality of distance learning experiences. While the shift to online learning during the pandemic was sudden, it was unavoidable.

Vast amounts of data are produced each day and become available via various channels, significantly enhancing our lives. The EU-funded EO4EU project will focus on Earth observation (EO) data, aiming to make it accessible to a larger audience, from professionals to citizens.

The digital transformation and the availability of more diversified and cost-effective means for 3D capture have led to the creation of digital twins also for physical environments.

Extended reality (XR) includes virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality. These immersive technologies merging the physical with the virtual are now upon us, thanks largely to beyond 5G (B5G) and 6G technologies.
