European Human-Centric Extended Reality Ecosystem for Industrial and Commercial Applications

digitalTestedTRL 5

Imagine wearing glasses that let you see through walls in a factory or practice a complex surgery in a perfect digital copy of a room. This project builds the tools to make these digital worlds look and feel real, while ensuring the data moves instantly and securely. It is like building a high-speed, private highway for virtual experiences so businesses don't have to rely on foreign software.

The business problem

What needed solving

European industries rely heavily on non-European XR technology, leading to a lack of digital sovereignty and fragmented market adoption. Existing tools often lack the realism, security, and scalability needed for high-stakes industrial use.

The solution

What was built

High-fidelity prototypes of XR assets, including 3D reconstructions, lifelike avatars, and a zero-touch 5G architecture for secure IoT connectivity.

Who can put this to work

Manufacturing
enterprise
Target: Industrial plant operator

If you are a plant operator dealing with workplace safety and productivity gaps — this project developed X-Ray vision for Industry 4.0 workplaces that allows workers to see hidden components, making maintenance safer and faster.

Healthcare
mid-size
Target: Medical training center

If you are a training center dealing with the high cost and risk of live surgical practice — this project developed virtual medical training tools that provide a safe, realistic environment for students to master procedures.

Tourism
SME
Target: Cultural heritage site

If you are a museum or heritage site dealing with static exhibits that fail to engage visitors — this project developed 4D historical reconstructions that bring the past to life through immersive digital experiences.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or pricing model for these XR tools?

Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures are not provided as the project focuses on developing the ecosystem and prototypes.

Can this technology scale to large industrial environments?

Yes, the project implements a zero-touch 5G architecture and secure IoT networks specifically designed to be highly scalable and handle fluctuating demands.

Who owns the IP and how is licensing handled?

Based on available project data, the project aims to create a 'XR made in Europe' ecosystem to reduce reliance on foreign technology, though specific licensing terms are not listed.

How does the system ensure data privacy in a factory setting?

The project uses secure XR-IoT and a legal and ethics framework to ensure data protection and alignment with European values.

How is the technology integrated into existing 5G networks?

It utilizes computational offloading and a zero-touch 5G architecture to enhance performance and scalability for multi-user applications.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is heavily weighted toward commercial application, with a 53% industry ratio comprising 10 companies, including 8 SMEs. With 19 partners across 9 countries, the project balances academic research from 4 universities and 5 research centers with practical industrial implementation, suggesting a strong push toward market viability rather than pure theory.
