The researchers of the Augmented Vision department presented their latest research activities in the field of eXtended Reality at the EuroXR conference in Athens, from November 27th to 29th, 2024.
The European Association for eXtended Reality (EuroXR) Conference is the ultimate gathering for Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). This year, the conference was co-organized by the Institute of Communication and Computer System (ICCS) of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA).
This year, a joint event on Next Generation XR was co-organized by six European Projects, among them CORTEX2, LUMINOUS and SHARESPACE, all coordinated by the Augmented Vision department at DFKI.
- Alain Pagani presented the recent work on cooperative telepresence in the project CORTEX2
- Michael Lorenz talked about social XR in SHARESPACE
- Zeshan Afzal featured the use of language models for XR in the project LUMINOUS
The coordinators took part in a panel discussion about the “Future of XR”, in which they could share their view about the next steps in XR research and development.
In addition, the AV group presented two application papers and one demonstrator, which attracted the interest of the conference participants
