Social and hUman ceNtered XR (SUN) project

Challenge
The project is addressing the following limitations:
- Lack of solutions to develop scalable and cost-effective new XR applications;
- Lack of convincing solutions for mixing of the virtual and physical environment;
- Lack of plausible and convincing human interaction interfaces in XR;
- Barriers due to resource limitations of end-user devices;
To surpass current limitations in the above the project developing solution including:
- Development of scalable solutions to obtain plausible and convincing virtual copies of physical objects and environments;
- Development of solutions for a seamless and convincing interaction between the physical and the virtual world;
- Development of wearable sensors and haptic interfaces for convincing and natural interaction with the virtual environment;
- Development of artificial intelligence-based solutions to address current computing, memory, and network limitations of wearable devices;
Three real-life scenarios have been selected to demonstrate the potential of the projects results:
- XR for rehabilitation after accidents or diseases.
- XR in the industry to increase safety and improve social interaction among workers.
- XR to remove interaction barriers for persons with disabilities.
Solution
The project is officially starting on the 1st of December 2022, and it will be completed in 3 years.
