If you are an automotive assembly plant dealing with high training costs and data leaks — this project developed a GDPR-compliant XR platform that allows secure, remote expert guidance and worker training.
Privacy-Compliant Extended Reality Platform for Industrial Training and Operations
Imagine having a high-tech VR headset for your factory that doesn't leak your company secrets or break privacy laws. It's like building a secure, open-source operating system for industrial goggles so companies aren't locked into one expensive foreign brand. This makes it easier for workers to learn complex tasks without risking sensitive data.
What needed solving
European industries rely on non-EU XR technologies that often clash with GDPR privacy rules and lack specific industrial tailoring, creating risks for data sovereignty and worker acceptance.
What was built
A European open XR platform and the second-generation Lynx R2 headset with a redesigned pancake lens system. It includes integrated APIs for industrial use.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a warehouse operator dealing with inefficient picking routes and onboarding — this project developed an open XR platform that integrates with industrial APIs to improve productivity.
If you are a field service provider dealing with expensive travel for technicians — this project developed a human-centric XR solution that enables remote maintenance while ensuring technological sovereignty.
Quick answers
What is the cost or pricing model for this platform?
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not mentioned, but the project emphasizes an open platform to avoid dependency on non-EU technologies.
Can this be scaled to a full industrial operation?
Yes, the project includes an expert partner in large scale delivery of VR/XR solutions to ensure no hurdles impair full industrial empowerment.
Who owns the IP and how is it licensed?
The project focuses on an open platform to enable empowerment without preventing partners and third-parties from exploiting the results.
How does the system handle GDPR and data privacy?
The project includes a group of lawyers to ensure GDPR compliance and the delivery of best practices for data privacy in industrial settings.
How is the platform integrated into existing systems?
The project focuses on the definition and integration of relevant APIs to the platform to ensure it works with industrial needs.
Who built it
The consortium is heavily weighted toward commercial application, with a 56% industry ratio consisting of 5 industrial partners and 6 SMEs. This balance, combined with the involvement of the Universitat Politècnica de València and legal experts, suggests a strong focus on moving from research to a marketable, legally compliant product rather than a theoretical study.
