HOLOBALANCE used holograms and AR environments for balance physiotherapy; See Far developed smart glasses for visual loss mitigation.
QUANTITAS SRL
Italian SME building augmented reality, serious games, and decision support tools applied across health, food systems, and cultural tourism domains.
Their core work
QUANTITAS is a Padova-based technology SME that develops interactive digital solutions — augmented reality environments, serious games, and decision support systems — and deploys them across diverse application domains. Their core competence lies in building engaging user-facing tools that translate complex data or processes into accessible, visual experiences. Across their H2020 portfolio, they have contributed software components for health rehabilitation (AR-based physiotherapy coaching), assistive technology (smart glasses for visual impairment), cultural tourism impact analysis, and urban food system planning with blockchain integration.
What they specialise in
HOLOBALANCE incorporated games for patient motivation; SmartCulTour used a serious game and participatory approach for cultural tourism planning.
SmartCulTour involved impact analysis, decision support systems, and impact measures; CITIES2030 applied food system modeling tools.
CITIES2030 applied blockchain technology to short food supply chains and city-region food systems.
HOLOBALANCE focused on accessible user interaction for ageing populations; See Far on assistive smart glasses for people with chronic visual conditions.
How they've shifted over time
QUANTITAS began their H2020 journey (2017–2018) firmly rooted in health-oriented AR and assistive technologies — building holographic coaching systems for elderly balance rehabilitation and smart glasses for visual impairment. From 2020 onward, they pivoted their interactive technology skills toward broader societal challenges: cultural tourism decision support with serious games, and sustainable food systems with blockchain traceability. The technical core — making complex systems accessible through visual, interactive digital tools — has remained constant, but the application domains have diversified significantly away from health toward sustainability and urban resilience.
QUANTITAS is broadening from health-only applications toward sustainability, food systems, and urban planning — positioning their interactive technology skills for the EU's growing focus on Green Deal priorities.
How they like to work
QUANTITAS operates exclusively as a consortium participant, never leading projects, which is typical for a technology SME contributing specialized software components to larger research efforts. Despite having only 4 projects, they have worked with 76 unique partners across 26 countries, indicating they join large, diverse consortia rather than small focused teams. This broad network suggests they are a flexible technology provider that adapts their tools to whatever domain the consortium requires.
With 76 consortium partners spread across 26 countries from just 4 projects, QUANTITAS has built a remarkably wide European network for its size. Their partnerships span health research institutions, tourism organizations, and food system actors across most of the EU.
What sets them apart
QUANTITAS occupies a distinctive niche as a small Italian company that can take the same core technology stack — AR, serious games, interactive visualization — and adapt it to wildly different domains, from elderly physiotherapy to urban food system blockchain. This versatility makes them a valuable consortium partner when a project needs an engaging digital interface but the topic is not purely tech-focused. For coordinators building a consortium, they offer proven H2020 experience with the agility and adaptability that larger software firms often lack.
Highlights from their portfolio
- HOLOBALANCETheir largest-funded project (EUR 220,744) combining holograms, AR, and gamification for elderly balance rehabilitation — a compelling intersection of health and immersive technology.
- CITIES2030Marks their expansion into food systems and blockchain technology, showing strategic diversification toward Green Deal topics with EUR 189,525 in funding.
- SmartCulTourDemonstrates their ability to apply serious games and participatory design to cultural tourism and regional development — an unusual application domain for an AR-focused SME.
