Three EU projects coordinated by the AV department have been presented in a meeting of the Virtual and Augmented Reality Industrial Coalition, hosted by the European Commission in Brussels on February 11th and 12th 2025. The meeting brought together over 110 attendees from more than 80 private and public organisations for discussions about the creation of a Private Public Partnership on Virtual Worlds.
The Augmented Vision department presented its work on extended reality (XR) in the projects CORTEX² (Coordinator: Alain Pagani), LUMINOUS (Coordinator: Zeshan Afzal) and SHARESPACE (Coordinator: Didier Stricker), and participated intensively to the discussions about the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) of the future Virtual Worlds Partnership.
The topics covered immersion & visualization, intuitive real-time user interaction, standardisation & interoperability, digital twins and XR use cases such as logistics & industry, healthcare, culture media & arts or education.
The department Augmented Vision will continue to represent DFKI in the future partnership on Virtual Worlds with eXtended Reality as key enabling technology.
