The INDUX-R program has kicked off dynamically with the cooperation of 18 organizations from Europe: CERTH-Greece, FORTH-Greece, CWI-Netherlands, UAU-Germany, UAB-Spain, EUT-Spain, FINT-Cyprus, NOVA-Greece, ORAMA-Switzerland, INOVA-Portugal, RINA-Italy, IDECO-Spain, CREAL-Switzerland, INVENTICS-Greece, UNIGE-Switzerland, EKTACOM-France, AdI-Italy, FSU-Germany.
The partners take part in a series of meetings and workshops, starting to explore ways to integrate Extended Reality (XR) technologies into various European industrial sectors. This pioneering project aims to empower individuals and spearhead the creation of innovative XR products and services, promising to bring substantial added value across a broad spectrum of applications, including:
- LiveMediaXR: Participation (on-site, online, on demand) with interaction in a virtual environment.
- X-Ray vision for Industry 4.0: Improving productivity and safety in industry.
- Virtual medical education: Training in medical procedures in a virtual environment.
- Large-scale 4D reconstruction of historical sites: Reconstruction of historical sites in 3D and 4D space - preservation of historical memory.
- Improved experience of watching NOMADE car races - exciting and immersive experience.
