Project description
From the printing press to the extended reality revolution
In a tech landscape echoing Johannes Gutenberg’s transformative impact on printing (with the movable-type printing press around 1440), the EU-funded XR2Industry project emerges as the extended reality (XR) pioneer. Focused on data privacy, empowerment and industrial relevance, XR2Industry envisions an open platform. Lynx, the hardware platform carrier, unites key researchers and legal experts, ensuring GDPR compliance. The collaboration extends to content developers, virtual reality/XR solutions experts and end users. Overall, the project strives for a holistic approach, embracing the entire XR value chain. As it unites nine partners, supports 12 third parties and spans Europe, XR2Industry anticipates a substantial economic impact, ushering in the XR industrial era.
Objective
Why is Gutenberg considered as the inventor of printing? Because he popularised a process, tailored at contemporary needs, taking advantage of a technical background and enabling a dramatic empowerment of knowledge sharing.
XR2Tndustry will be the Gutenberg of XR. Tts priorities are: data privacy, empowerment, industrial relevance, openness. To this extent LNX, hardware platform carrier, gathered key partners alongside with UPV, project coordinator to address these issues towards an open platform:
i) a research group (UPV) specialised in technological solution's acceptance, impact on workers delivering key insights in building the right platform, ii) a group of lawyers (LML) delivering key insights in ensuring GDPR compliance and related best practices, along with iii) companies excelling in developing compliant and relevant content, while mastering the technology (ALT, SSQ), iv) an expert partner in large scale delivery of VR/XR solutions (TKP) ensuring no hurdle impairs a full industrial empowerment, while industrial expectations and needs are brought by v) end users (FLX as partners and further through XR2Tndustry's Advisory board). Tn addition, FBA and FBC will provide a critical support in operating cascade fundings. These laters will empower stakeholders in technology structuration on XR platform, bring complementary insights on standardisation, and empower industrial users on the human-centric framework.
Bringing XR to industry will be possible only when the full value chain is considered (knowledge holders, technology providers and integrators, distributors, end-users) as in XR2Tndustry. Moreover openness is key to enable empowerment, while not precluding partners' and third-parties' exploitation.
XR2Tndustry will gather 9 partners, support 12 third parties, and through advisory board and clustering activities, will leverage impact all over Europe. The foreseen direct turnover is estimated at several hundreds M€, with even larger indirect impacts on end-users.
