Project description DEENESFRITPL Using virtual reality to improve the human experience In recent years, virtual reality (VR) has found more commercial applications and larger market share. However, VR still holds great potential to enhance interaction and expression. The EU-funded EXPERIENCE project seeks to use VR to enhance daily life by allowing brand new ways of social interaction and personal expression. It will develop the technology required to help users easily create and manipulate their own unique VR environments, significantly improving their virtual experiences. The goal is to bring VR into areas such as mental health treatment, entertainment and education, promoting VR as a means of significantly improving the human experience. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Social media has transformed the way we communicate through text, images, and videos. Despite recent technological avenues, virtual reality (VR) has not been incorporated in social platforms, hence limiting the comprehensive sharing of an EXPERIENCE. This project makes real the complex interplay between multisensory perception, emotional responses, past experiences, and perspective of the future also by disentangling the mental representation of self in space and time. The new Extended-Personal Reality technological and scientific paradigms will move Europe to the future generation of extended social interactions by allowing the public at large to i) create their own VR environments as they do photos and videos without the need for technical skills, ii) create virtual simulations eliciting unique psychological, cognitive, neurophysiological, and behavioural responses, iii) automatically generate VR environments from neurophysiological data, iv) easily manipulate VR environments to communicate and elicit specific emotions, v) manipulate perceived reality to effectively treat psychiatric disorders. EXPERIENCE embeds advanced artificial intelligence routines merging information from a person’s Extended-Personal Reality to inform manipulation tools including neuromodulation, multisensory biofeedback (audio, video, haptics), and subjective perception of time-space. EXPERIENCE will produce extremely realistic reproductions of the user's past and may re-administer it by modulating the associated emotional states on demand. Within a large number of research and innovation avenues, EXPERIENCE will prioritise novel diagnosis and treatment of affective disorders commonly associated with altered multisensory perception like depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. A plethora of innovative technological paradigms including gaming, e-learning, and neuroeconomics will be in the commercial exploitations, including the opening of a new market for actually selling EXPERIENCEs Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencesartificial intelligencemedical and health sciencesclinical medicinepsychiatrynatural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwaresoftware applicationsvirtual reality Keywords Virtual Reality Time perception Psychiatry Clinical Psychology Neuroimaging Biomedical Signal Processing Space Cognition Emotional processing Affective Computing Programme(s) H2020-EU.1.2. - EXCELLENT SCIENCE - Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Main Programme H2020-EU.1.2.2. - FET Proactive Topic(s) FETPROACT-EIC-07-2020 - FET Proactive: emerging paradigms and communities Call for proposal H2020-FETPROACT-2018-2020 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-FETPROACT-2020-2 Funding Scheme RIA - Research and Innovation action Coordinator UNIVERSITA DI PISA Net EU contribution € 994 687,50 Address Lungarno pacinotti 43/44 56126 Pisa Italy See on map Region Centro (IT) Toscana Pisa Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 994 687,50 Participants (7) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all CSEM CENTRE SUISSE D'ELECTRONIQUE ET DE MICROTECHNIQUE SA - RECHERCHE ET DEVELOPPEMENT Switzerland Net EU contribution € 861 853,75 Address Rue jaquet droz 1 2000 Neuchatel See on map Region Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera Espace Mittelland Neuchâtel Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 861 853,75 UNIVERSITAT POLITECNICA DE VALENCIA Spain Net EU contribution € 459 913,60 Address Camino de vera sn edificio 3a 46022 Valencia See on map Region Este Comunitat Valenciana Valencia/València Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 459 913,60 UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI ROMA TOR VERGATA Italy Net EU contribution € 450 565,00 Address Via cracovia 50 00133 Roma See on map Region Centro (IT) Lazio Roma Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 450 565,00 COMMISSARIAT A L ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVES France Net EU contribution € 739 145,00 Address Rue leblanc 25 75015 Paris 15 See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Paris Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 739 145,00 UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI PADOVA Italy Net EU contribution € 416 250,00 Address Via 8 febbraio 2 35122 Padova See on map Region Nord-Est Veneto Padova Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 416 250,00 KAROLINSKA INSTITUTET Sweden Net EU contribution € 436 207,50 Address Nobels vag 5 17177 Stockholm See on map Region Östra Sverige Stockholm Stockholms län Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 436 207,50 QUATECHNION SL Participation ended Spain Net EU contribution € 87 586,40 Address Calle malaga 20- 46 46185 Pobla de vallbona See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
