Imagine being able to build a 3D virtual world with a teammate who is in another city, as if you were both in the same room. This project creates a digital workspace where people can easily turn videos and photos into interactive 3D stories. It's like giving creators a smart toolkit that automatically organizes their media so they can focus on the storytelling rather than the technical coding.
Creative professionals struggle with fragmented tools and high technical barriers when trying to produce collaborative, high-quality immersive 3D content for audiences.
A distributed XR Creation Environment for remote collaboration and an XR Media Experience Environment for content delivery, supported by an AI-driven multimodal media ingestion pipeline.
If you are a news agency dealing with the difficulty of making complex stories engaging for young audiences — this project developed an XR Media Experience Environment that allows viewers to enter the story and interact with the news in a social virtual space.
If you are a museum dealing with low visitor engagement for static exhibits — this project developed AI techniques for 3D content creation that turn historical archives into immersive, shared virtual tours.
If you are a theater company dealing with the high cost of physical rehearsals for remote casts — this project developed a distributed XR Creation Environment that supports remote collaboration and production workflows.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures are not mentioned; the project focuses on developing the technology and testing business models.
Yes, the project explicitly aims to demonstrate how these immersive social experiences can be transferred to new application areas beyond the creative and cultural sectors.
Based on available project data, the IP and licensing details are not provided, though the project involves a consortium of 23 partners including 10 industry members.
The project built a multimodal media content ingestion pipeline that supports 360° and volumetric video formats, allowing heterogeneous assets to be reused across platforms.
The project period runs from 2022-10-01 to 2025-12-31, suggesting the final results and market-ready versions will be available toward the end of 2025.
The project is heavily industry-driven with a 43% industry ratio, comprising 10 industrial partners and 8 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, combined with 4 universities and 2 research centers across 12 countries, indicates a high focus on commercial viability and practical application rather than pure academic research.
