Vehicle Interior Virtual Environment

Objective

VIVE’s ambition is to reimagine the vehicle interior as a seamless immersive display environment, pushing the boundaries of XR-enabled human–technology interaction in automotive cabins by introducing a new paradigm of human-centric XR Head-Up Displays (XR-HUDs) for naturalistic, intuitive and safe driving experiences.
VIVE will deliver two disruptive photonics and optics technologies: (i) a compact holographic projection unit, capable of low-latency, multi-plane 3D projections; and (ii) photonic films embedding diffractive and metasurface structures, to be applied onto dashboard and windscreen surfaces to redirect light precisely to the driver’s eyes, while remaining transparent, manufacturable at scale, and easy to install. These breakthroughs will overcome the inherent limits of current HUDs, unlocking wide field of view, large eyebox, adaptive brightness, robust colour reproduction and durable optical components fit for the demanding operation conditions of automotive environments. The XR-HUD will be orchestrated by a control unit to dynamically manage the flow of XR content based on real-time environment, context and driver state data.
Human Factors and User-Centred Design principles will guide the development process, ensuring that ergonomics, inclusivity, and real user perception are embedded in every step. Validation will take place across three complementary pilots (static in-cabin integration, immersive driving simulation and controlled real driving experience) covering a wide set of driving scenarios to ensure results consistency. Technical performance metrics will be assessed alongside human factors (comfort, visibility, reaction time, attention, motion sickness, distraction), guaranteeing that VIVE delivers safer, more comfortable, and more immersive driving experiences.
Leveraging VIVE technologies, human-centric XR solutions could also be developed for application across other sectors, thus cross-fertilisation will also be fostered during the project

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
